Let's Talk SEC Football

Less than 2 weeks to the kick off of the most wonderful time of year. Yes my friends, I am talking good ole fashioned SEC College football! So much to discuss and so little time!!

First off, Whats the odds of us taking another National Championship? I'd Give us a 90% probability that one of our teams will be in. If the west wins the SEC championship whether its Bama Or LSU, I pretty much guarantee another Trophy to add to the dynasty of the south. I say this in regards to the up front run you over mentality that these two teams possess.
If the Winner of the SEC comes from the East, I give it a 85% chance that we still take home the big one.
Personally, I would rather see one SEC team play in the NC versus a non SEC team, just for the pure enjoyment of shutting up the rest of the nation.
I gladly take any constructive criticism or see where the rest of this board stands, just dont expect me to get into a pissing contest with anyone, im just not that much of an internet wiseguy.

I agree, whoever wins the West will win the National Title. That would probably stand for the East Division as well if they win in Atlanta.

Still counting down the days here, we should be at 8 with the first game (Thursday night game) and 11 until Alabama football. Can't wait!!!

I got a feeling that Ohio State with sneak into the NC because their conference is TRASH...easy pickings for whichever SEC team ends up against them, Ole boy Urban won't be able to out coach them that's why he left the SEC in the first place.

Yep Urban already faked a heart attack to get out of the SEC, I would love nothing more to face that p.o.s. in the title game and straight embarrass him.

Dream on boys. ND revenge.

ND revenge? I think Manti is having doubts about playing in the NFL after what Bama did to him last January...Than again, y'all have a good chance of going unbeaten also with the strength of schedule.

ND revenge? LMAO! Just like they were supposed to beat us in January too. All I can say is "dream on"

I hate Urban Meyer as much as anyone but he did win 2 national titles at Florida. So, to say he couldn't make it in the SEC doesn't make much sense.

When he saw that his recruits were gone and little Timmy Tebow was done with his career, he jumped ship knowing that Florida was going to be mediocre in the SEC. Then he went to an easier conference after he told the world that he was done with college football....he did what Nicky Boy Saban did to LSU

LaLou what time do y'all play this weekend? You play TCU on the national stage right? Is it the Saturday night game or the Labor Day game?

I remember this time last year I was in Metairie working Isaac. Talked my boss into letting me cut out of our meetings to run to the Hilton at the Airport in Kenner where we were staying. Had no A/C in the rooms as we just got the power back on and all those rooms were inside, watched us whoop Michigan in a 85 degree hotel room.......LOL

I'm pretty sure we have them in the night game. whether its 630, 7 or 8, I'm not sure. It will be on ESPN though. This will be the game to see how we will do this year. Either it will be a last minute loss or we will slaughter them. Too many "ifs" right now for me to be sure. We will find out if the defense has been reloaded and If Mett can live up to what they say he will be doing with Cam Cameron....either way I wouldn't dump money on LSU, we always find a way of not covering the spread.

What are y'all like 20 point favorites vs VT? I would think y'all cover that easily.

I haven't heard but I'm sure it is high. They have a starting WR and DB out I think and possibly a RB, and their line combined has like 27 starts with a True Freshman at LT. It shouldn't be close.

Love 'em, hate 'em, whatever. Top to bottom the SEC is far and away thetoughest conference in College football. Bama will kill Va Tech.

Yep, I'm looking for a 45-10 type score.

Boom Shackalacka!

Think Vandy clips Ole Miss Tonight? Vandy is getting 3. Not that it matters in the big picture, but it's the only SEC game on tonight.

I'm staying away from that game if I was betting. It smells like stinky fish.

SC is playing NC too but I think the spread is 12.5 or somewhere in that area.

Yea SC should roll too. UNC might can keep it close for a half then they are done.

Week one is in the books. What you think Dixie, Bama lived up to your expectations? Apparently my ole Tigers have a little bit of offense this year and Georgia straight up flopped to the ACC like we did last year.

LaLou,

I somehow missed this post during the week. I thought week one we were so-so, back to business in week 3 though. Have been sick as a dog but yesterday helped some. Bama/LSU should be good again!

What's the graduation rate?

You guys clipped TAM, but they are way over rated IMO. LSU/Bama winner for the National Championship, AGAIN!

Nick Saban is the Devil.

I AGREE, not only did he betray my Tigers but he left my Dolphins in shambles! Got Double Whammed by that evil man!!

Texas A&M's offense is for real. Their defense is like shredded cheese. I imagine Les will dial up a ton of run plays, stay on the field and you beat A&M.

I agree winner of our matchup yet again takes the West and probably the national title. I'll take it!

Georgia Worries me....

Nah, their defense is nowhere near what it was last year. Pressure the QB and he'll fold, he just can't seem to win the big one.

Gonna find out what LSU is made of this week. I was originally optimistic but it seems that TCU is a flop and we haven't really been tested yet

Who y'all have this week? I forget.

We have Colorado State and Ole Miss coming the next two weeks.

Auburn, First test of the year. Not a strong one but better than the clowns we have been playing

Hell y'all should kill them. If not, I'd worry. People try to talk them up because they are 3-0 but they've beat Washington State, Arkansas State, and Miss State.

Handed it to them pretty easily. Miles called the dogs off after the first half which made the game look a lot closer. I dont know about the defense I think Georgia might kill us. Hopefully our D steps up. You worried about Ole Miss?

Nah Ole Siss will keep it close like they normally do with us, but we will be able to handle them as usual. I expect it to be a lot like last year, early troubles (and possibly even them leading at the half) then we pull away by two scores late. We always look flat against them.

I think you'll beat UGA by 1-2 TD's. I just don't think they will be able to handle y'all.

Shyte.....and that's all I'm gonna say.....put a dint in my season and its not even mid October. The dint usually comes when we play you guys. Y'all should have no trouble carving a pretty picture out of our defense.

I was very surprised they played Defense like they did against UGA. Very surprising. I'm not writing LSU off yet though, always a scary game.

Speaking of SEC football, what's this crap (and it's not exactly new) where you have several SEC teams playing 8 home games and 4 away games?

The NCAA should make a new rule that every team has to play the same amount of home and away games.

That is all. Carry on.

Most teams have at least 7, so what is the big deal about it?

Bama only has 7 home games this year.

I'm guessing that the conference games are 50/50, but the cupcakes that fill the schedule play at the home of the bigger program.

I'm not sure it's true that most teams do have at least 7 home games a year. I'd look into it more right now but I gotta go to work. But I will when I get home.



That's true and it shouldn't be that way.

A quick search shows that the teams that have 7 home games are primarily those from the so called "power conferences."

And Alabama has 8 home games and only 4 away games this year. That's BS.

I don't care if you check up on what I say, I know what I'm talking about.....LOL

Why is it BS?

And you better check your facts again bud, Bama DOES NOT have 8 home games this year.

In case you are new to college football, the power programs PAY the smaller programs to play the bigger schools at home. They are called money games for a reason. The smaller schools have more of a balanced schedule because they play those bigger schools on the road so they can meet their athletic department budget every year. Without that, they go under.

First, the last thing I am is "new" to college football.

Second, I rechecked and they have 7 home games, 1 at a neutral site, and a whopping 4 away games. And don't give me this crap about the "power programs" doing the money games for the sake of the little guy. It's them using exploiting their position by filling up the rest of their schedule with easy home games, usually against powder puffs.

The rule should be an equal amount of home and away games.

But there is a double edged sword. All of the powers schedule games against some smaller schools, but the smaller schools need these games to continue to fund, grow and legitimize their programs. They know they can't compete with the big conference powers, but the smaller school athletic directors know that their teams are benefited not only by revenue, but by recruiting. The field of potential recruits widens when high school players, unable to get scholarships from the top schools, know they still may have the chance to play every year at Tuscaloosa, Ann Arbor, Athens or South Bend.

SEC Games are split 50/50 as mentioned earlier.

When teams like LSU and Alabama play their weaker games, they play at home. So IVY what your saying is that they should play these weaker teams away?

The reason they play at home is because these smaller schools get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars from the proceeds of playing a large name school in the larger stadium. So you would rather LSU go play at Alcorn State in Alcorn State stadium that sits what maybe 40-50K People instead of playing at LSU which sits 90K plus and generates more revenue that will in turn be given to the smaller school.

Please explain your reasoning Ivy. I'm trying to understand your Godly knowledge on LCN and college football because your coming off as a guy that likes to flame the fire more than anything.

Okay, What college did you graduate from? Maybe LSU and Alabama can play you guys year on out from now on? home or away, it shouldn't be a problem because it won't hurt either of our school's national championship hopes year to year.

I guess he is whining that we will get beat if we don't play 7 home games every year (like that matters).

LaLou hit it dead on the head.

Let's see, we can play Western Carolina this week who travels to Auburn. You honestly think Auburn should travel to WCU's campus which holds maybe 20,000 people? If they did, half of them would be Auburn fans and most of the revenue would go to the city INSTEAD of Western Carolina University. WCU could probably sell 10k in tickets but you are talking at what? $10 a pop?

Instead they are in Auburn, where WCU probably CLEARS $300,000 from this game alone. So do we travel for 300k or sit at home for a HOPEFUL 100k (that is estimating very high at that)? Like I said earlier it is all about the money. If the bigger schools just played each other no money changes hands and you will see most of the smaller D1 schools go back down to DII or just flat out quit football because they CAN NOT sustain themselves otherwise. There are not many football programs turning a profit, much less living without that money. The smaller schools couldn't handle it.

I also find it funny you would assume Bama or LSU would do all of this just to get an easy team. Hell almost every team we play is easy these days. We damn sure are not running away from anyone.

And like I said, Bama has 7 home games with 5 AWAY FROM HOME. Neutral site or not it is not a home game like you thought when you "quick checked" your references.

Yea lets make every school play 6 and 6, wont change much other than making schools go bankrupt. Good business idea......LMAO

All of you are bringing up the money angle as if that's supposed to mean a hill of beans. One of the problems with college football is that money influences it too much.

The Alabamas of the world don't schedule these patsies out of charitable good will. They do it to soften up their non-conference schedule. And the already biased pollsters let them get away with it. I suppose a team can schedule who they want but the NCAA should at least ensure that an equal number of home and away games are played unless teams want to play on a neutral field.



I'm a die-hard BYU fan, though I didn't attend that school. And I'd be fine with them playing Alabama or whoever.

But more than that, college football needs a legit playoff. Each and every team should have the same chance to ultimately play for a real national title - which results from a playoff and not BS biased polls and convoluted computer calculations - if they do what they need to do. Without that in place, every so called "national championship" is quasi at best. What they've put in place is a step forward, away from the BCS cartel, but it's not good enough yet.



A neutral site doesn't count as an "away" game. But, like I said, I'm fine with neutral site games. But Alabama shouldn't be playing 7 home games and only 4 away games.

Lou I seen where y'all dominated UF. I figured their offense wouldn't be enough to hang with y'all.

MIZ-ZOU! Georgia got put in the dust yesterday… at home.

Yep was nice to see UGA get shut up as well. They have been beating their chest for a while claiming they were a top team.

I'm glad we took down FLA, our D look night and day better. All we need is Mizzou or SC to win out in the east and which ever of our teams play them in the SEC Championship should be an easy ticket to the NC. (no offense on Mizzou Frank!)

Dixie, November 9th, Circle it on your calendar. That's the game to decide who the next National champion is.

You know it!

Can't wait to see it.

Well....on to Baseball Season!

Wow. What can I say?

We watched the Bama/LSU/auBARN games from the track and it was just a crazy day!

I just knew Ole Siss was going to blow the game like they did against aTm!

With Georgia, South Carolina, LSU and A & M losing in conference upsets, the SEC almost devoured itself Saturday.

How about those Seminoles? Kicked some Clemson ass. Maybe a challenge for the SEC.

FSU's win Saturday night was the most impressive win of the season so far. Maybe an Alabama/FSU national championship game is on the horizon.

Would seem plausible but I don't see anyone jumping Oregon or Bama if they remain unbeaten.

6 Days Dixie......

I was just fixing to come and post something in here and you beat me by 44 minutes......haha

ROLL TIDE!

True. Oregon was upset by Stanford late last year. If Oregon remains undefeated, then FSU/Ohio State will make a pretty good game.

I wasn't expecting us to open as an 11 point underdog Dixie. i thought they would figure our offense would keep it closer than that.

Klydon, I like Fla st. in the NC, they keep flip flopping with the ducks right now, but if Oregon loses Thursday, I see Fla St playing and having a good chance to win. They are pretty impressive.

Yep I knew we opened as 11 but haven't seen the line since it opened. Kind of surprised me too.

We are getting there LaLou, watching this Oregon-Stanford game and I realize now that Oregon wouldn't finish but maybe 3rd in the SEC West! Maybe even 4th. They can't tackle this Gaffney kid from Stanford, hell Bama alone has 3 backs stronger than him if not MORE not to mention LSU and their backs! Their defense is piss poor and that is putting it lightly...

I'm really hoping for an Oregon vs top SEC team game in the BCS title game. Oregon is better than you think....

Oregon's out. Stanford dismantled them again, and now FSU has the clear path to the title game. What Stanford did to the Oregon offense may have put Johnny Football as the frontrunner for the Heisman.

Dixiemafia called the game correctly. The game was nowhere near as close as the final score indicated....

That game would have been a lot closer if Oregon had a kicker. Geeze just having to watch them go for it on fourth down inside the 20 was PAINFUL!!

Get ready Dixie, our game just got a whole lot more serious with Oregon dropping. If LSU happens to pull it out of their asses, which I'm skeptical of, the BCS will be in SHAMBLES!

A'int nobody wanna watch Fla St kill Ohio St in the NC.....

Yep I was hoping Oregon would stay near the top so we could play but yet again they are done. Looks like Bama/FSU at this point which I would take, but we gotta get past LSU first.

Both Oregon and Bama are public teams. Some executives running sports books in Vegas have said that a title game between those two would have shattered betting records.

I think Bama/FSU could bring in more than Bama/Oregon. Bama fans are hardcore betters (they generally bet Bama regardless of the line) and FSU fans are just as crazy with money.

Pitiful first half, great second half. Now all we have left is Mississippi State, Chattanooga, and auBARN.

That was paintful, nice game though. Can't try to blame it on any one thing, we were simply out plasyed and out manned. Good Game Dixie

Yea the first half I was very worried, but I think depth and experience came through for us in the 2nd half. We MUST shore up our DB's after this year. Clinton-Dix is going pro for sure, Sunseri (who is out for the year) might not be ready and Belue graduates. We have some great DB's committed and hope to pick up top DB Marlon Humphrey (his Dad was the great Bobby Humphrey)

LaLou did you watch that bullshit Saturday night with auBARN and Georgia? Stupid bastards deserved to lose after that.

Nah I caught bits and pieces, I was too hammered. Saw they pulled it out. Y'all had a hangover game from playing us?

Dixie y'all need to get an elephant so y'all can teach them tricks like these guys do with Mike.

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=db5_1384860029

Yea it looked like we had a hangover and the flu. MSU was never really "in it" though. To give up 7 after that performance says something.

Would be kinda hard getting an elephant into Bryant Denny trust me!

Nah man, y'all the flagship school of the state! Gotta one up Aubbie and that chicken hawk they let fly around the stadium before each game.

If anyone gets mad or sad about their football team, just remember your not the Florida Gators.

Crazy ending to the Iron Bowl. The other polls now have Florida State and Ohio State in the top 2 spots but we'll have to see what the BCS standings are later tonight.

i think Aubbie jumps OH st. if they beat Mizzou. I'm not even sure OH st. Beats MICH ST this weekend.

Dixie you okay buddy? I know that was a hard one to swallow.

If Ohio State goes undefeated, I think you have to put them in the championship game against FSU (as long as they beat Duke). I think FSU would beat Ohio State handily, but I think FSU can beat any team in the country right now.

I think both Missouri and Auburn are better than Ohio State, but Auburn is two miracle plays away from being a three loss team, and while the Big 10 is a joke (and the ACC is almost as laughable), the fact that Ohio State blazed through its schedule, assuming a conference championship game, without a hiccup, should put them in the title game under this defective system.

By the way, I was shocked this morning that the OSU player, who was kicked out of Saturday's game for fighting and left the field by dramatically giving the finger to 100,000 jeering fans, will not be subject to a suspension. His actions disgrsced his university and the rivalry between the schools. If they let this kid wear the school uniform again, the school will bring shame on itself.

Yea but didn't OSU struggle against some no name teams? I'm not calling Michigan a "no name" team, but if that coach kicks the extra point instead of pushing for two that's a whole new ball game in overtime

I don't know. I didn't follow them too closely. They admittedly had few challenges in a bad conference, but they seemed frequently to run up big scores against them. They may have struggledat times, but the objective result is that they won.

Michigan is a decent, but flawed team, which I was hoping would beat the Buckeyes. And it obviously is the big rival, so I don't fault OSU for not blowing them out in Ann Arbor. I agreed wholeheartedly with the decision to go for two at the end because I think Michigan knew they were outclassed and had little chance of repeatedly stopping OSUon the short fields in overtime.

I think the SEC is the best conference in the country, but they weren't as dominant this year as they had been in the past. Normally, an SEC team is a given in the national championship game, and maybe Auburn with a win jumps OSU and plays Florida State, which presents a sticky question: Will Jameis Winston be charged with a crime before the game?

That would have a profound effect on the national championship game. Are prosecutors delaying a decision to bring charges to to insulate themselves from a rabid respose from Seminole fans?

Ohio State is flawed, no doubt. But there is no way that if they beat Michigan State in the Big Ten Champ game that they get jumped by any one loss team.

The Buckeyes have a prolific offense with Miller and Hyde. But their defense was exposed horribly against Michigan and at various other points in the season. Would they beat Alabama or Auburn? My guess is no. But they can compete with Florida State.

If FSU's QB is charged, then there is no reason to delay things any further. If the NCAA is influencing things to keep him from being a legitimate Heisman candidate, then they should be consistent and keep him out of any bowl game.

Regardless of what happens for the BCS championship game, the Auburn-Alabama game was one of the best games I have ever watched. What a phenominal ending, not only with the runback but also that beautiful shovel pass that Auburn used to tie the game at 28 late in the 4th quarter.

It was certainly an amazing game with a finish that will probably go down as the greatest ending to a college football game, especially as it dashed the championship hopes of a team looking for its third straight title in a storied rivalry. The videos of Auburn and Alabama fans watching the play in their homes are interesting to see. Our grandkids will be watching that play.

If you listen to sports-talk radio....The SEC is weak this year. Missouri comes over from the Big 12 and they are first in their division. The Big Ten is weak - except maybe Ohio State. The Pac-XX is getting stronger. Florida State!! They are in the ACC. Who did they beat? Bethune Cookman! They do put up a lot of points.

I'd have to say this is a down year overall in college football. The PAC has been impressive, and some of the teams and players in the smaller conferences got recognition. My sons' friend, Matt Johnson, is having a great year at QB for Bowling Green. We've been following him as well as the center for Pitt and a defensive lineman for Ohio State that they also know.

But this Heisman race shows how uninspiring the year has in comparison to others.

Will your son's friend be in for the draft next year Klyd?

He's only a sophomore, and he's only 6' 0''. But he has an amazing passer rating and has thrown for over 2800 yards. His Bowling Green team plays Northern Illinois for the conference championship game tomorrow night. NIU has a Heaisman candidate in Jordan Lynch at qb. It should be a good game.

I think its cool that Duke is playing Fla. State for the ACC title. Duke was the doormat of the ACC for many years. The ACC will be going the way of the Big East. Adios mustachios.

We blew 2 chances at the end to seal the win against Auburn and choked it all away. We deserved to lose that one playing like that.

Technically y'all are still in it. Are the Saban rumors to Texas true?

We will see about the SEC come January. GO FSU!

I don't think Aubbie matches up well with FSU. This could be the year the Noles take down the SEC

I never thought the barn would rush for that many yards against a Bama D either. They will hang more with FSU than people think. If I had to bet today I would actually take the barn even though I hate anything of their kind.

No Saban is not going to Texas.

Fla St Opened at -8? I would think Aubbie would hang with them in a high scoring game.

Let's talk SEC Baseball.

Dixie, are you guys relevant in that sport or is it just waiting for next years football season to kick off? I know both of our teams are kiddie leagues in basketball (Everyone is except for Kentucky in the SEC)

Well kick off is right around the corner. I like South Carolina out of the East and LSU out of the West. I think Spurrier's team will have their best season to date.

Bama is up there, they always are, and LSU QB position is shotty to say the least, not to mention we lost Hill and our two best WRs to the NFL. Will be interesting.

Hey Dixie, Y'all got us in Death valley this year, It's been a long time since we beat them elephants!

I'm pulling for you guys in Death Valley, I think Miles will out coach Sabin, Alabama showed they are vulnerable at the end of last season. I wish Spurrier would come back to Florida, we had a very bad season last year to say the least and the Old Ball Coach would be great for the program.

I just don't see LSU winning the West this year since they lost a TON of talent to the pros. I'm not sure I've ever seen a team take such a big hit like they have. I still say it's a Bama/LSU battle more than likely but Bama has always played LSU better in Death Valley than they have at home.

I wouldn't say Bama was vulnerable. After all it took some missed FG's and a freak play to put them out of the SEC Title game and national title on a year many didn't think we'd be in that spot (me included). Then add to the fact they didn't care about the Sugar Bowl since they had nothing to play for and we have the Sugar Bowl reincarnated (see Bama vs. Utah).

While I'm not ready to say we're ready for the title just yet, I do think next years team will be better than this version.

I don't think we will be doing much this year either Dixie, I don't trust our QB since he couldn't beat Iowa by more than seven points last year. I was watching the Arkansas spring game, I think they have a legit change of winning the West this year, straight power running game.

I think they'll be better but I'm not sure Arky has the depth to hang yet. I still think teams like Bama, Auburn, Ole Miss and even LSU will have too much depth for them. I still think they are a year or two away from being a real threat.

We had a minimal scrimmage Saturday but Saban wouldn't release the QB stats since it stormed the whole time so it must of not looked good. Rumors are still that Coker will win the job but you just never know these days.

Didn't you guys just lose a DT or DE for the year last week too to injury? Les is going to have to earn his money this year for sure. If they win 10 or more games I say the man deserves a raise.

We got Fournette, that's about the only bright spot, not sure how much playing time he will see this year though...

Yea he has a shot to be a good one, y'all just have to hope Les doesn't throw him to the wolves and tries to give him all the carries this year and gets him hurt.

Do ne of u guys ever see my NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS ever being a Powerhouse again? I feel like teams just kno wat we r about da run option. Do u guys ever

Not with Bo Pelini. Nebraska is kind of stuck in the past like we at Alabama was, wanted to only hire coaches that came from Bama and the like until we stepped out of that with Saban and look at us now. I think Nebraska needs to do the same.

If we beat Wisconsin in two and a half weeks and Nebraska goes undefeated, who knows right?

SEC network starts in 2 days CANNOT WAIT!!!!

I belive its firing up tonight Merlino!

Dixie, who y'all got first game?

yup............great times love my man finebaum

LaLou we got West Virginia in the Georgia Dome first game. Who y'all got?

Yes the SEC Network goes live at 5pm Central today.

Merlino you listen to Finebaum? He has been a fixture here in Bama for YEARS. His show used to be better than it is now, especially when he had a sidekick. When he was still on AM radio stations is when he was at his best. I think they show his show on ESPNU and ESPN2 some now or was and the SEC Network I think will probably have his full show I'd imagine. Helps me because I'm generally inside during his show and don't have a radio nearby so now I can watch him instead of listening.

Wisconsin in Dallas man, may be starting off the season with a L!

I don't think y'all gotta worry too much about them.

yes definitely been listening to him gator fan here... i thought muschamp shoulda been fired after ga southern debacle last year... but we shall see now... muschamp just reminds me of ron zook part 2. UF is loaded this year so we shall see

Georgia Southern was no joke, they gave us fits a few years ago. Might have been the year we stomped Notre Dame they put up like 200+ rushing yards on us and that triple option gave us fits.

Yea Muschamp is a good coach but just not sure good "head coach". Seems like he changed his style when he became head coach and that's not good.

Right now he reminds me of Gene Chizik, good recruiter but can't get the offense right (like Chizik AFTER Cam Newton). If Muschamp gets an offense they could win the East.

In this day and age, all of those small schools have a fighting chance. I remember us playing Mcneese St a few years back and we didn't pull away until mid third quarter. Needless to say I was VERY anxious pacing my row of chairs (it wasn't even close to being sold out)...I get animated for the games to say the least.

Yea but with the Big 5 now getting their chance to break away, I would venture to say a lot of those smaller schools will take a huge hit. More of the top players will quit going to the smaller schools since they have no shot at a title now since they wont be able to make the playoff. It will force a lot of the premiere recruits to stay with the big 5 conference teams instead of being able to go to the smaller schools where the academics are easier on them. Of course you'll still have some going there regardless because of grades.

It will take a few years for all this to happen but the days of the huge upsets in college football are almost over IMO.

like the chzik analogy good call.... love sec network.... u may have a point on small school reference but with the NFL finding tons of gems from small schools I think some guys who slip through the cracks will stay home or attend those smaller schools.... i used to love going to early september gator games and watch them roll up those smaller schools but not case w gators past 4 years... sometimes you can make some $$ of those small schools esp recently against bama and LSU.... take your 48 or 50 and hold on

DIXIE...we got NO OFFENSE!!.. I see y'all have a Jordan Jefferson at QB also? I was in Dauphin Island all weekend, Bama fans were going nuts for that game

Yep we have some work the next two weeks. Surprised me that Coker only came in to hand off at the end of the game and now Coach Saban says there is still a QB competition?? Don't get it.

I was very surprised to see y'all have problems with Wisconsin. We have an experienced CB coming back this week so that should help big time.

Who you got taking the West? We have Two Jeffersons, that rules us out. y'all got one, but its fixable. TAMU was the only school that looked worth a damn

Oh and I'm starting to feel bad for South Carolina fans. Every year since Clowney was supposed to be "the year the Gamecocks take it all" and they repeatedly get CRUSHED!!!

Dedicated fans I tell ya!

I still think South Carolina is just that bad and that is why A&M railed them. It still probably comes down to Bama/LSU/Auburn in my mind.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Vandy hang with SC and Vandy sucks!

I forgot about the Tigers/ War Eagles/ Other Random Mascot

At one of the bars they were showing the eagle during the Auburn game and I said "Look at that friggin chicken hawk!"....the girl I was with was not happy with me for that remark..

Yea they don't like you to dog that damn bird.

As a NEBRASKA CORNHUSKER fan I dont kni wat to think we almost lost to Mcnesse St. today.. When will Nebraska get bak to da glory days again..

Dixie, Think SC covers that spread against Georgia?

the only thing I know about sec football is how lucky auburn was when they pulled off those miracles against Georgia, and Alabama, tell me auburn didn't have an angel on their shoulder. I hoped they get creamed this year.

What is the spread La Lou? On the pickem I had UGA by 7. I think South Carolina is pitiful this year especially on defense. They were way too slow for the likes of A&M.

Binnie you are correct. That was the luckiest run I believe I've ever seen in my life. The UGA player had the pick plain as day, hell all he had to do was just knock it down and game is over. Then against us we decide we didn't know he could return a short kick and then let him romp 108 yards to win. We had like 3 chances to seal that game in the 4th quarter and I knew after we didn't kick on the 4th and short that we didn't pick up that we would lose, but I thought it would come in overtime instead of at the end of the game.

They are still tough on offense but I don't see that luck staying with them again. I do think A&M, LSU and Bama beats them and there is a slight chance Kansas State beats them very soon as they have them at Kansas State next Thursday night I believe.

La Lou you can appreciate this story. My Mom grew up in Auburn and even my old man went to Auburn High School, I was born down there in Opelika and my Mom used to dress me and my brother up in Auburn gear when we were newborns. From the time I can remember we both ended up being diehard Bama fans with him being a season ticket holder.....lol. She even worked down there at a cafe when Shug Jordan was coach and she met him but never went to a game. In 2004 when they went undefeated and got snubbed (that sure was great) I took her to her first Auburn game against Kentucky. We had scholarship seats where we could go to the concession stand (no line by the way) and order what we wanted for free. We also had chairbacks and a shade the whole game with TV's in the walk way where I spent all my time watching Bama lose to Tennessee

Oh yea La Lou, who y'all got this weekend? We have Southern Miss at home. They used to be a thorn in our ass (they beat us with Favre one year and they even shut us out with me in the crowd at Legion Field one year) but I think we are 49 point favorites this weekend.

I think it's six right now. It's a tough one to pick. SC is hands down horrible, but their backs are against the wall for their season.

We have La Tech this week. Our best receiver is out though dude got in a car wreck or something.

Has Dupre played yet? How is he doing? I know we went hot and heavy for him and Fournette.

UGA and 6 at home, I'd probably take it. I think UGA is in for a let down but not sure if USC's horrible DB's and defense can stop Gurley. I do think UGA loses to someone they shouldn't though.

He just got back in the lineup Dixie.

We are now officially WAY overrated. and we got Miss St. this weekend, should be interesting, they aren't half bad.

Who y'all got?

Gators struggled mightily against UK last week and I am no muschamp fan and think he shulda been canned last year after Ga Southern game... that being said i think that the gators have a great shot at the upset of Bama this weekend... Bama is down compared to last 7 years.... QB situation is not settled... cooper yeldon and safety collins are all top 10 picks in nfl gators may have one first round pick in dante fowler..... think bama is just hitting a down cycle this year.... but huge game for kiffin... im biased gator fan but i know a lil bit on my college football and hope its great game saturday night up in bama

We pretty much all down this year merlino. LSU is not number 8 in the nation yet we keep getting bumped up every time another team loses.

But Les Miles freaking keeps cranking it out every year....Can't stand FSU but I think they could be a lock to be there at end despite Winston FSU plays clemson this week, which may have been tight with winston and then they play notre dame and Boston College....not sure on Ole Miss...texas A & M seems to have it cranked up they have arkansas in 2 weeks....SEC beats one another up, this looks like the year that Oregon runs the table out west to get in the final 4

My boy, I personally think Miles is severely mentally handicapped but that's a whole other subject.

That was pretty embarrassing last night to get skull dragged to Ole Miss' step child Miss St.

Only hope for the SEC to retain another championship is for Bama or TAMU to take it all...first time in my life...."Row Tide!" (That's for you Dixie)

Both bama and a &m look tough i watched lsu game and similar to gators game pretty bad

That we can agree on.



As I told you the other day they had no shot and they didn't. Bama had 4 turnovers and about 11 penalties yet they still doubled up Florida. Would have been even worse had that not happened.



Would you like to repeat that?

Sims only went 23/33 445 yards and 4 TD's. If that is not settled then I'm not sitting here typing either.

Also would you like to repeat the comment about Bama not playing anyone and that Sims only put up good numbers against nobody's?

The two best teams we have played (Florida and WVU) Sims is only:

47/66 695 yards 4 TD's 2 INT's and another 54 yards rushing. Not bad for a QB that sucks eh? He also had a 73.2% completion percentage and 190.8 QB rating.

He is 16th in passing yards, 26th in TD's, 4th in passing efficiency, 28th in yards per game, and 14th in yards per completion. Not bad for a first year starter and someone still stuck in a QB battle as some would say.

LaLou,

You think Les jumps ship and goes to Michigan? I think Michigan fires ol big boy and they are going to need a big name. The heat could be turned up big time on Les down in BR this year I think, so I wonder if he leaves now? That was an ugly loss to MSU for sure.

What I found funny was that MSU tried to blow the damn game. That should have been a blowout then they tried to give it back to y'all. Crazy stuff.

Only if I'm the luckiest guy in the WORLD will Les jump ship! Guys is a moron through and through!

I imagine people are pissed in Louisiana after losing to the Bulldogs.

la louisiane, if im not mistaken didn't les miles win a national champion a few years back. you've only won three in your history, 1958, [ paul dietzel} 2003,{ nick saban} and 2007 { les miles} you want to win another one you better hope les stays. there only going to get better.

You need to check out Miles' track record at LSU. He won the NC with Saban's recruits. We have been in a steady decline since then.

I'm over it man. Miles straight up out-thinks himself.

When we were legit we were a "power I" down the field smash mouth team. Now with an offense like that all you need is a drop back pocket passer to make a few passes now and then to mix things up.

Miles has this vision that he is going to create this "Super Offense" with a multi dimensional QB. Problem with that is the clowns we draft think they are Michael Vick and get their asses handed to them.

Also, I'm not impressed with Fournette. He has one move, downfield. He can't shake a tackler to save his life like Hill could and he doesn't have burst power.

Yea just goes to show you these recruiting services are not always right with the "can't miss" recruits like Fournette. Of course he could become a beast before he leaves but you just never know.

I just don't get why everyone wants a dual threat anymore. You have to have an offense like A&M or Auburn for that to even work. Hell we even turned Blake Sims into a passer who will only run when there is just nothing there. LSU would have been much better off with another big kid like Mett that can sling it to keep defenses honest. That QB y'all have is going to hurt y'all all year in my opinion.

I'm calling the upset against Aubbie, new QB

My NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS!!! R goin to shock da world we r upsetting Michigan St SAT!

im calling two upsets Saturday, Stanford over notre dame. and lsu over auburn, how good will miles look if he beats auburn, Georgias still got a good shot to take the sec. improvement n georges defence is coming, theve only two tough games left. Missouri and auburn, watch georgia be the big surprise. and watch Mississippi fight the tide down to the last minute, could be upset of year, don't forget the tide is on the road. could be a lot of money bet on Mississippi.

Thats unfair and untrue. Miles has done an outstanding job at LSU. He's lost more underclassmen to the NFL in the past three years than any other school. (Its catching up to him this year) Also dont forget his team that lost to bama in the bcsncg went 13 - 0 beating oregon alabama florida Arkansas west virginia auburn and everyone else on their schedule before they had to play alabama in a rematch. And as far as him winning a nc with Sabans players thats a tired old cliche and complete bullshit. Take it easy on Miles youre lucky to have him.

Well we blew our game against Ole Miss after leading 14-3 at the half. Auburn straight demolished LSU.

Drake getting hurt took out the package of plays for him in the game plan. That hurt and made saban revert to his old form of conservatively pounding it between the tackles. Also I think sims arm or shoulder was worse than they let on they never stretched the field. Oh well I didnt need that 100 anyway I loaded up on Baylor.

well, this has nothing to do with the sec, but, the usc -asu game left me scratching my head. asu scored 3 tds in the last 3 minutes, the last one a hail mary with no time on the clock, its going to take a while to get over this one, asim an usc fan,

As LSU Alumni I believe the man gotta go. It's what's best for the university not whats best for the team. We have been in a steady downfall since our loss to Bama in the NC and can no longer compete with the lower tier teams in the SEC. Dixie, yall gonna kill us lol

No longer compete in the lower level of the conference? Really? Do you have an example? Beat florida in florida last night. Youre entitled to your opinion I just disagree. Their recruiting class (fornette duprey harris etc al) was 2nd in the nation last year. They're just young theyll be right back in the mix next year.

If we don't get our QB situation fixed we are screwed too. I agree LSU is very young this year with so many declaring for the draft last year and graduation I figured they would be like this.

But what has most pissed at Les is the fact Saban has come in and seem to have started cherry picking some of the top talent out of Louisiana. Used to when Saban was at Louisiana you didn't waste your damn time in Louisiana as you knew they were a lock for LSU and they REALLY stayed in state back then. Now you have no idea as we got Cam Robinson and had a battle for Fournette and we also stole Cam Sims out of there too not to mention the past few years as well.

Blake Sims flat out stunk it up for the 2nd week in a row. I say it's time to at least open the competition up as he seemed to play better when Coker was still in the mix. Saban needs to do something to wake their ass up!

Its a new world son check out Alabama recent recruiting classes they're from about 15 different states now. These 5 star kids look at two things #1 who can prepare and get them to the league in three years #2 they look at rosters ie playing time. NFW was fornette going to alabama with yeldon henry and drake all ready there. (Not to mention tenpenny jones etc al) I also agree sims is struggling alabama could lose 2 more games if they dont fix the offense. Shoulda coulda lost yesterday.

ive been touting Georgia all year, its time to take them seriously now. after pasting Missouri 34 to zip without todd gurley. only one tough game left. only question. who are they going to play in the sec championship game?

gram6814, couple of squeakers yesterday. Alabama, and lsu. the tide so lucky to get by Arkansas. and lsu 3 seconds left before kicking a 5o yarder. maybe those lsu fans will get off miles now. as for Alabama. saban better get them clicking.

I hear ya. Saban is teflon their fan base and boosters wont criticise him even when its warranted. (They're 5 - 3 in their last 8 games could have been 3 - 5 with the best roster in cfb) the cache he carries is 3 ncs at bama that helps keep the wolves away. Miles gets no such slack with lsu fans. That sec west is the best fivision in all of sports its just brutal this year.

Well for one I'm not your son. For two look at LSU's classes and you'll see what I'm talking about. We steal 1-3 top recruits out of there every year now, when Saban was at LSU that would unheard of. Les can't hold his home state, eventually it will cost him his job. You just don't understand how diehard they are there, they are a lot like we are in Alabama. Yea Bama had all these RB's but by next year we could have a True Freshman #2 on the depth chart as Yeldon is going pro, Drake is coming off injury and Henry is the only guaranteed back to be returning. That's how quick you can lose depth at any position.



Georgia is still weak. South Carolina is terrible and they beat Georgia. Lets not forget Mizzou also lost to a horrible Indiana team at home as well so that win does nothing for me.



You have never been to Alabama then. He gets calls on his weekly call in show and after games like this he regularly gets criticized.

As LaLou said if Miles didn't win that title with Saban recruits he gets fired last year. Even the year he went undefeated until he played us again he was only undefeated because Bama misses the field goals in the game in Tuscaloosa.

As a gambler im not driven by emotion like you are. I get that. But again its complete bullshit that he won with sabans recruits. Its also a joke the 9 - 6 game was only because alabama missed fgs. Go look back at the distances of those kicks. Complete bullshit he was ever in danger of getting fired. Hes gotten two raises ans wxtensoons because they were afraid he was foing to michigan.

Again you're clouded by emotion "die hard" saban never lost one Louisiana kid when he was at lsu? Laughable. As far as bama rb depth Drake could come back scarboro is in the program as is tenpenny and jones but yes a fresh could by #2 next year that's possible just not probable. Listen to gamblers kid they know more than diehardd do.

Emotion has nothing to do with it. Two of those kicks were makeable.

Scarbrough IS NOT in the program. He did not qualify and will enroll in January as he is making up classes. Drake is a big question mark as it depends on how he heals and when he does will be 100% when he comes back. It will be Henry and the rest is yet to be decided. Also there was rumors that Drake was going pro after the season anyways and there is still that chance now that he was hurt and don't tell me that will stop him, Vinnie Sunseri left after tearing his ACL and was drafted by the Saints so year it can happen. There is a good chance Scarbrough jumps both Jones and Tenpenny.

As for the LSU and Louisiana comment yes you DID NOT see 2-3 top players in Louisiana every year leaving the state. If Saban went after them they were locks for LSU back then. You can go back and look at the ones that stayed out of trouble or had question marks and show me one TOP RECRUIT that left the state under his reign. I'm betting you can't. When he was there he owned Louisiana and Mobile areas and now Les can't even own his own state. Noil went to A&M, Robinson and Sims left for Bama. That doesn't even mention Willis and years like when Collins left for Bama as well. They would have been for sure LSU locks back in the day. You don't understand because you've never been there but since you "bet" you know more than we do? Get real.

There is not anything you can tell me about Bama that I don't already know dude. You already thought Scarbrough was in the program when he isn't.

Wheres eli manning from? How about the running back from nola that went to usc he was the #1 recruit in the nation. There's two for you and hundreds of others left la for other sec and other schools while saban was at lsu. Scarboro went to north ridge grew up in Tuscaloosa and was never not going to Alabama. Hes basically been "in the program" since 8th grade.

Your points about miles are laughable as with most die hards opinions. Hes gotten two raises two extensions and would have won a 2nd nc if okla state doesnt choke on that thursday night game at iowa state. Oh and which two fgs were makeable in the 9 - 6 game? How many other 48 yarders did foster make that year?

im sticking with Georgia, auburn is their toughest game, they can beat flordia, and George tech. dixiemafia... who is number 1 rated in the sec right now. its Georgia. Alabama was almost upset by the dogs last year. gooooo dogs!

Binnie uga is at arkansas this week 2nd week in a row on the road. Arkansas will be a live dog careful there. Alabama hosts a+m they'll be a two td favorite at home. Uga is not the top ranked sec team miss st is #1 I'll suspect and ole miss #3 both ranked ahead of them (bama and all barn prolly are too)

And binnie bama beat uga two years ago in the seccg not last year but youre right they should have beat them.

dixiemafia. whats going to happen when you play lsu? auburn? Mississippi state? Georgia has an easy schedule compared to your tide.

gram6814, well, thank you for the corrections. you know college football, no doubt about that. what do you think of u.s.c. im still getting over the asu game. I think they can beat notre dame, notre dame is a fluke, like every year.

Notre dame gets waxed Saturday in Tallahassee. I think usc is a year or two away from competing for a nc like the caroll years. I like sarkisian but the sanctions of lost schlorships still hurt their overall depth to this day. Its also not helping usc recruiting that mora is at UCLA.

Usc is inconsistent and prone to mental lapses. Their other issue is the top to bottom strentgh of the pac 12. Every team has a really good qb and head coach. Its a brutal conference to handicap brutal. Usc has lost on a hail mary and won on a missed fg in the last two weeks. Laid egg at bc the week before. Brutal.

Regarding nd they'll be at least a double digit underdog saturday. It'll be a blow out they don't have a chinamans chance in hell in my opinion. Only chance I see them staying under the number will be if winston gets thrown in jail.

well, the pac 10 is like you say, brutal. I been waiting all year for notre dame to get thiers, and Saturday they will. if you bet pro football, the cowboys beat my seahawks today, that was to me brutal. now, let me ask you because youre on top of college football. are we finally going to get rid of that freak bcs and get a playoff format.

Dude do you even READ what I've typed in this thread? I said that WHILE SABAN WAS AT LSU (means 2000-2004) he locked the state down. Eli Manning was an Ole Miss legacy (do you know what that means?) plus Saban didn't take the LSU job until November of 1999 which means he was NOT the coach at LSU when Eli Manning was recruited (once again READ!). Also Joe McKnight the #1 RB you are talking about was AFTER Saban left LSU. I see reading comprehension is not your strong suit, but I forget, you are a gambler so that means you know it all You need to quit now before I make you look even more ignorant.

Yea Scarbrough went to Northridge (that's how you spell it by the way) and of course he grew up in T-town, that is where Northridge is! He then illegally tried to transfer to Tuscaloosa County and was ineligible so he took off to Florida and played for IMG Academy his Senior year. So as I said you are not telling me anything I don't already know. Now I know how Pizza Boy feels when he busts all those NYC wannabe's on here. You pretend you know it all but don't know jack shit obviously.



Georgia always has it easier, they are in the SEC East after all I'll be VERY surprised if they beat Arky this weekend. They could easily lose @Arky and @Kentucky and will lose to Auburn.

As for us, we should beat LSU. Auburn and MSU are toss ups like normal. MSU always plays us tough even when they are in down years. The Iron Bowl is always a toss up no matter how bad either team is.

LOL, leave it Dixie, we were born in Alabama and Louisiana and grew up with our teams our entire lives. For someone to come in and try to tell us what is what because they gamble, I'm not even giving it the time of day.

Nice weekend eh Dixie? I had to laugh at TAMU. Nicky let off the gas then hit the emergency break and y'all STILL scored at ease!!

Kentucky is Kentucky whether they have a winning record or not, they are still the bottom of the SEC.

As long as we don't get blown out by Ole Miss next weekend, I'll be content.

Yea we finally came out and played like we could. Was good to see "Kenny Trill" get a piece of that humble pie. They actually played scared.

Believe it or not I think y'all have a great chance to beat Ole Miss.

We have gameday coming to BR, so it'll be a night game. Funny things happen during those games..

Exactly. Night game, Ole Miss is ripe for an upset too. I think it happens. We camped near some guys from Baton Rouge over the weekend. He works for Dow Chemicals.

why do you boys keep disreguarding Georgia, cant you see the handwriting on the wall, now, gentleman who are the bulldogs going to play in the sec championship game? c'mon now, you both, Dixie mafia, and la louisane, know sec football like the back of your hand. and by the way,, fsu is not the same team as last year, they should have creamed notre dame.

Binnie- It doesn't matter who Georgia plays. Bama, Ole Miss, Miss St. and Auburn would have their way with them. They are good every year because let's face it, the East is pretty horrible. If they had any of those two teams on their schedule, they would be in the same boat with one or more losses.

Granted I will give you they are good, but The SEC West usually produces the team that will play for the NC and when the SEC championship comes around, whatever team that may be will pull out all the stops against Georgia.

I wasn't really impressed with FSU and ND. Their defenses gave up way too many long plays down the field. Every play was for the receivers to run 15 yards down the field, turn around and catch the ball.

Dixie-Dow is pretty big in BR, prob over a thousand employees if your looking to change careers lol. Who y'all got this weekend?

I agree Georgia only has a winning record due to being in the East. If they were a West team they'd be lucky to have 1 SEC win so far. They would be above Arkansas and that's about it. Auburn will beat them for sure, then they will lose the SEC title game.

I wasn't impressed by ND or FSU either. Winston has happy feet and ND had every chance to beat the "unbeatable" FSU team (cough cough).

I really think LSU has a great shot at beating Ole Miss. I think I even picked them in the pick 'em.

Dixie, that would be great! how could anyone get on miles if he beats up ole miss. now, boys don't be to sure about auburn beating Georgia, gurleys coming back, and that defence
is chomping at the bit to get to auburn. the only rat in the woodpile is Georgia tech, now, come the sec championship, I
can see it coming, mark reich and co. is going to hurt somebody.

you better hope it isn't your tide Dixie!

Georgia Tech is no threat to UGA.

Gurley won't be back, that is a pipe dream.

well, Georgia tech, has hurt us more than once.and gurley has a chance to come back. GO DOGS!

Nope you can give up on Gurley. He accepted too much money and you guys sadly will never get to see him suit up again in my opinion. Of course UGA will try to re-submit him hoping the NCAA will re-instate but but it isn't happening.

Gurley burnt that dealer in Rome GA. and now the dealer is costing him the Heisman and UGA a shot at an undefeated season.

well, they have already re-submitted him, and I certainly

hope you are wrong, if it doesn't come back, well, we got
a bad break.

He took too much money to come back. UGA and other universities have always tried to re-apply athletes in the hope the NCAA will go ahead and make a decision one way or another and this is all they are doing. Just because they are re-applying for reinstatement doesn't mean they honestly think he is free and clear. If that was the case the NCAA would have already ruled on it. Fact is they are still investigating and the dealer supposedly has a LOT of proof that Gurley took a shitload of money. He's done. He knew he was breaking the rules but wanted to cash out. Now he can sign all he wants while he waits on the draft.

ok. I don't know what gets in to these kids, he just ruined a great career, and hurt. Georgia. by the way, I sure hope you thump Tennessee. a few years ago they ruined an undefeated season, for my dogs, I got no sympathy for Tennessee.

We don't either. Other than Auburn, Tennessee is our most hated rival and even some of the old timers consider the UT rivalry is better than ours with Auburn.

Word is Justin Worley will not start for UT so we will hammer them tonight. Even with Worley they didn't have much of a shot but they stand no chance tonight now. I would not be surprised if we score 40-50 points tonight.

And for Gurley he won't be hurting much. In 6 months he'll be a rich man.

well, I think hes going to do allright hes a great talent, who has played against the top teams in college ball. he wont be a manziel. whose career will be bust for wherever he winds up.

manziel is not nfl material. write him off.

well, Dixie mafia, the tide is rolling, should be ready for the war against lsu.. and la louisiane maybe now you will get off les miles. great win lalouisiane, in spite of your 4 turnovers. great win. ill say it again, look out for my DOGS!!

There is zero doubt that Gurley will be a bust in my mind. Kid is the real deal. He proved that against us when we played UGA in the SEC title game a few years ago.

As soon as I heard the Ole Miss game was a night game I immediately thought LSU would beat them. I think Auburn will beat them next week too. They are just not built to survive a full SEC season with 0 or 1 losses. Too young and not disciplined enough to do so. Plus you add the fact Hugh Freeze is a moron (you kick the damn ball there) and there was no way they were going all the way.

I also think Mississippi State loses to us (it's in Tuscaloosa) and to Ole Miss.

I also wouldn't be surprised to see us lose to LSU as we have them in Death Valley too. We are off next week and we ALWAYS suck after an off week for some reason.

next week - my dogs get to feast on flordia. both of you guys get a rest before your war in Louisiana. gonna be a battle, the tigers would dearly love to crush the tide. and they could,

in the meantime my dogs will take on Kentucky. [ an easy win] now Dixiemafia, those tigers gonna be tough after that great win over ole miss. dixiemafia, y'all got miss.st, and auburn to play yet. poor tide.

I'm not worried about MSU and Auburn, we have them at home and Blake Sims is always on fire at home. My worry is LSU in Death Valley coming off an off week.

dixiemafia by the way, I have a 1978 Alabama media guide it lists all of the tides starters for 1978 plus all their pictures, and a bios, also alabamas all time registry, I have some mafia books I was throwing out and saw it, I was going to throw it out but, i thought you might know an Alabama collector.

yes Dixie, those tigers are going to be hungry for the crimsom tide. like I posted. my dogs got Kentucky....[ he, he, he,]

Looks like we have a date with destiny in two weeks Dixie. Every year we both line up our schedules where we have an off week before we play each other.

Think Gameday will be back in BR?? No. 3 VS No. 16? It will be a night game that much I know. Hunting for tickets as we speak.

Binnie if y'all have them @ Kentucky you better look out.

LaLou I don't like it. We flat ass suck after bye weeks and I don't know why. I wouldn't be surprised to see us lay an egg in 2 weeks. Should be a good game regardless!

well, you boys do battle, while my dogs cream " KAINTUC "
my dogs have never been playing better. remember 1980.

How Bout Them DOGS!

lalou, Dixie, my dogs get to wax florida this week on national t.v. you both enjoy your week off. and y'al keep writing off my dogs. just remember the dogs are showing up for the sec title game. will one of you be there?

Don't matter if it's us or one of the Mississippi's, those bulldogs gonna look like poodles at games end.

lalou, now you tell me that after the florida game. I tell you these dogs are reminding me more, and more of the 1980 dogs.

oh, by the way gurley comes back for the auburn game.

well my bulldogs went into Gainesville. they should have stayed home. it was bad!! now I know. even with a weak schedule,

when they have to get it done they can't. florida impressed me.
if they run the table the rest of the way, and sneak in ahead of Missouri, lsu or bama better know how to stop the run.

Both Bama and LSU have beaten Florida this year, they are covered buddy

lalou, you keep up very well on the sec, who do you think is going to be in the sec championship game? c,mon gimme your best
prediction.

well, you boys, Dixie, lalou. I guess I have to be the one to tell y'all, this here florida gator team that put the boots to the bulldogs, is a different team from the team you beat in gainsville, 3o- 27. lalou. and the tide I know crushed them,42-21 but it a different florida team now. Dixie.

and if they run the table, and Missouri loses then they could sneak in. and they would be tough as nails. so you heard it here first. 389 yds they rushed against the great bulldog defense. doesn't that scare you if they luck out and get in.

Florida wouldn't beat our 2nd string team.

We smoked them, Sims threw for 445 yards and didn't even play much in the 4th. UGA was just exposed for the fraud they are, the East is just that bad. I told you after they stomped Mizzou that it didn't impress me because Mizzou lost to Indiana at home after all. It doesn't matter what team comes out of the East, they will get beat in the SEC Title Game.

I would LOVE to play UF in Atlanta. Means we waltz into the title game. They are a joke. They beat y'all without a QB.

well, I can't make excuse for my dogs, they had an easy schedule and if it wasn't for a missed field against so.carolina

we would have went to Gainesville undefeated. but, we had our test and failed it. im not so keen on mark richt anymore. but those gators could surprise y'all. and gurley will be back for the auburn game, and him and chubb make a dream backfield. we will win all the rest of our games.

Well LaLou it's game week. I'm supposed to hate you and not talk to you this week

well, one you alls 's going down this week, not that it's gonna help my team any. but, if the bulldogs don't get by Kentucky, their may be a new coach coming.

If y'all play at Kentucky you are liable to have big troubles with them. They are playing with confidence. If you are in Athens then I see a blowout.

well, thank you very much young man, just what a Georgia bulldog needs!! my, god what more can happen to my dogs!!

you got the game of your life coming up this Saturday, boy, if you blow this one, that team better not come back to Tuscaloosa.

don't you lose this one. two years without a national championship for the tide. thats serious business.

Nah things are not too bad here. Most really didn't expect to be this good so far really as our QB situation really had most wondering if we'd win 10 games this year. Next year though you better look out, our defense will be for real.

Let the Cold War begin! Good luck this week man, line opened up at y'all giving us six.

hello, lalou, I'll take the lsu tigers and 6 anyday!! I wonder what dixie thinks about giving 6?

Take LSU Hopefully we come out hot but I seriously doubt it. We always suck coming back from off weeks. Hopefully we play better than I think we will.

Wait a minute, I'm not supposed to be talking to you!

Well LaLou, last day of the Cold War. May it be a good one tonight!!!

Good game Dixie! We lost but I'm okay with it because we kept it close.

Les Miles= Run the ball all game: Overtime: Pass, Pass, Pass, Pass......Only frigging Les Miles is smart enough to outsmart himself...dude has got to go!!!

Let's be honest, we gave that game to y'all with Chavis and his prevent defense that cannot prevent anything.

Man I was soooooo sick of Blake Sims I could have puked all over the screen. He even had the nerve to say he was better on the road than at home yet we had 4-5 plays where Amari Cooper ran the wrong route according to Sims yet he never does that. I did like how Kiffin put him in the backfield to give y'all a different look. Then the tackle eligible plays was crap we haven't run all year until now.

You do have to admit y'all playing better ball since Auburn and MSU though.

well. I get to talk this week, my bulldogs crushed top- ranked Kentucky, now I go to the sec championship game.

now Dixie you have to beat miss st. to get there, and I think you will.
the Alabama- lsu war was a great game for the fans. now lalou your tigers in the second half were putting pressure on sims.

Dixie, cooper dropped a few, and you had more than 1- 15 personal foul penalties, you can't have those penalties and beat miss st. la lou, the last play of the game is being second guessed your qb could have ran for the first down. Dixie,
lsu with fornet [spelling] proved "you can run on Alabama"
"how bout them dogs" gorley coming back!

Yea Fournette is a good one. We knew that when we battled LSU to try and get him in recruiting.

As for the game and the flags, honestly I think BOTH 15 yarders called on LSU and Bama were a joke. That crew called one horrible game, the DB's on both sides were grabbing arms all night long and no pass interference calls were really called all night even though it was blatant on both sides. Every time we draw Tom Ritter's crew that always scares me. They are the WORST in the SEC without a doubt.

LaLou what was up with the "F*ck you Saban" chant last night while the LSU player was hurt? I know he is hated but that is a weird time to throw that chant out

yes, you are quite correct about the refs, everyone could see it. and I think they held on to cooper at least two times, it was obvious. however you had a boy in the defensive backfield that did a suberb job on lsu defenders. his name was perry I believe.

as far as chants against saban its all jealously, the guy has proven hes the best coach in college football, but, if I were you I would seriously worry about those penalties. they are not good.

and considering the tackle eligible lay. didn't that get you down to the 2, before you got a 15 yarder. hard knocking that play. now you can beat miss st. you have a way of doing it when you have to, however. YOU CANNOT HAVE PENALTIES. watch it!

HOW BOUT THEM DOGS!!

We generally don't commit a lot of penalties so I'm not worried about that much.

Yes Nick Perry had a pretty good game as did Eddie Jackson who had the pick before the half.

On one of the throws to DeAndrew White the LSU defender was also holding his left hand and wouldn't let him go costing us a potential touchdown catch. Right in front of the ref too. But like I said it definitely went both ways it's just cases like that were it is plain as day and not called, that seems to always be a staple of Ritter's crew and last night was just another example!

well, the announcing crew on cbs mentioned the lack of pass interference calls a number of times. especially the one where the lsu defender who while the ball was in the air absolutely held cooper!! it was blatant! if the cbs crew mentions it, and the audience sees it in reruns, its inexcuseable. and cooper couldn't shake free, all game long. but, if you know the officals aren't throwing flags unless you outright tackle the boy. what do you expect! the officiating was shameful!!

well. Dixie you win another big one. credit your defensive backfield for that one, I knew they were good. but, 3 picks against the #1 team in the nation, hard to pass on the tide.

well, the dogs trampled a great top rated auburn team, gurley, and chubb gained 289 yds rushing, and both are a receiving threat as well. auburn had one of the best defenses in college football, and we crushed them.

now, if we meet in the sec championship game, you have to stop gurley, and chub. the dogs will hurt you.

Fire Les Miles.....That is all

lalou, while I always thought he was a great coach because he won that national championship. im having my doubts now,

I don't see any excuses for getting shutout by Arkansas, everybody in the country knows you are better than that. florida is going to fire their coach, and, I don't think he's that bad.

might give him a try, if not who are you thinking of ?

Surely that is a joke.

Thing is Binnie I don't think UGA is going to make it to Atlanta. Mizzou has to lose again and all they have is at Tennessee and Arkansas at home. They can lose either of those two or even both, but they must drop another or UGA won't even make Atlanta

I think it's funny everyone wrote us off after the Ole Miss loss...

Now reports are Gurley tore his ACL yesterday. No way UGA beats Bama with just Chubb. We're not Auburn.

well, I hope we make it , Dixie, we are playing the best football we ever have this season. Arkansas can beat Missouri and the dogs go in,
now, you have to get by auburn, are they going to lose 3 in a row? if you beat auburn and go in the final four, nobody can beat you, y'all have another national championship. [ as if you bama boys need another!] chubb ran better than gurley against auburn. you can be ran on, lsu proved that. we don't need gurley.

LSU proved it with TWO backs, something UGA does not have now.

Auburn plays Samford this week so I doubt they lose 3 in a row.

well Dixie, Georgia will have to rely on Arkansas to beat Missouri, if they don't... then we won't get in the sec title game.

I think Arkansas can do it, theres not a hotter team in football, if we do get in, we won't be a pushover for you. we could jump up and beat you..

I'm not worried about Georgia. Chubb won't do it on his own, we're not Auburn.

good luck with your iron bowl! I don't see any problem for you.

I wished it was that easy. We never play good against them.

Dixie, the line today was Alabama + 9 0ver auburn.

no line I can see yet with Arkansas and Missouri. Missouri
has won 5 straight. Arkansas is hotter than a pistol.

the dogs are favored by 11 over ga tech. but, tech always tries to ruin our season. good bet would be to take those points.

they always try to kill us. just like you and auburn.

Yep that's why I always say we suck against them, we always seem to have more to lose than they do and we play too uptight.

well, I don't doubt your going to win it, if you don't, that would be two seasons in a row that saban had to swallow that bitter pill.

Missouri and Arkansas play Friday. I'll be sweating that one,
man have a good thanksgiving............ bennie.

You too!

I hope Sabin chokes on that pill!!! (Sorry Dixie)

I got screwed twice by that evil little man. I wasn't upset when he left LSU to go to Miami because I am die hard Dolphin through and through, but when he left them in shambles I took on the mentality of every other LSU fan. I'll be honest, he played the system right, so hats off to the man.

Also, what do you guys think about this four team playoff system? I'm still undecided. It used to be a race to number one and two, but now its reiterating the same thing week to week. (Not saying anything about the teams, they are clearly at the top, minus FLA ST, but the Gators are gonna end that dream for them this week.)

I heard last night during the game that if we were still using BCS, TCU would be ranked second in standings, bet they want that system back

Lastly, gotta retract my previous statements earlier this year about Fournette. The kid put the team on his shoulders and carried us to victory. He will be a top back as long as he continues to grow.

"Ohhhh all I want for Christmas is a average QB, an average QB, yea an average QB!!!"-LSU Alumni and Fans

well, lalou. an 8 team playoff would be better, maybe cut down to a max of ten games in a regular schedule. four is not enough.

I mean what do you do with tcu, Baylor, ohio st?
an 8 team playoff would be ideal. the bcs sucked, but this isn't that much better. as far as fournette goes, I wish Georgia had him now that gurley is hurt.

I heard the n.o. saints think he's the best back thev'e seen In college. he going to do well in the pros.

Dixie or la lou. well, the dogs didn't make it. I watched the game and Missouri creamed Arkansas in the second half. Arkansas
qb hurt, could not throw , still, the fathead coach would not
take him out. so it's Alabama and Missouri in the sec championship game. Dixie you have to stop their running game
and they can pass too. I will be cheering for the tide.

a disappointed bennie......

I agree with the 8 team system. Four is too close to leave out three teams (even though I'm pretty sure we all agree OH. St. will flop to the SEC like they have in every major bowl game the past decade.

Eight would actually be a great idea Binnie. When it comes to the 7th and 8th seeds it wouldn't be as much pressure on those behind them because lets face it, the top five or six teams are usually a head above the rest of the nation so a 7 and 8 would be like wildcards.

Regardless, one of those teams are gonna get left out and cry about how they should be "Partial Champs" because the committee didn't like the way they won or some BS. But then again at the end of the day I believe this comes down to Oregon-Bama-Miss St. depending on the rankings after this week.

Hell who knows if FL. St. loses to Florida an unranked SEC opponent, Miss. St. should get a 3 seed depending on Oregon's performance. I'm assuming 1 will play 4 and 2 will play 3 for the first round then the winners on to the championship.

Bama should get there but they will have a tougher time given the opponent quality. Auburn this week then depending on the outcomes, whoever the SEC EAST champ is. It actually favored Miss St. to lose that one game because it gives them an extra week off while they let the dominos fall.

I think it will be 1. Bama, 2. Oregon, 3. Miss st. and 4. TCU, Baylor, OH. St. (Whoever they want to let Bama crush). I'm not even throwing FL St in the mix because let's face it, you give LSU that schedule as bad as we are this year and we would be undefeated also. They are on borrowed time and they know it.

Another championship showdown featuring two SEC WEST teams is still plausible. Its crazy one conference can be that dominant. EVERY team in the west is going bowling this year. I don't think that's ever been accomplished before.

I know exactly what you mean. if they take all the conference winners, and some who have weak schedules they are not qualified.

if they consider undefeated teams in weak conferences, it is not fair. nobody can go undefeated in the sec. a team is lucky if they come out with 1 or 2 losses.

Georgia is not in the sec title game and they beat one of the two 34 to zip. but, they lost one game on a field goal.

the sec is so brutal because its the toughest place to play football in the country. at least two sec teams should be in the final four, if the auburn team with cam newton was playing last year, fla st. would have been toast. and what sec dominance.
I go this way depending on auburn- Alabama. 1 Alabama [after crushing Missouri] 2 Oregon 3 ohio st, 4 tcu.

Yep count me in on the 8 team as well. 4 is just not enough but at least it's a step in the right direction. Even though I thought the BCS worked, just 2 teams to me is NOT enough. 8 makes it good as chances are you can get every Power 5 conference winner in and 3 at large teams and even on bad years if the Power 5 conference winner like the ACC has 2 losses that just gives you more at large teams to pick but I'm afraid if we go to 8 the Power 5 will make sure the conference winners get in automatically.

But to me the playoffs will be a LOT BETTER once people get to see it. You'll get teams that don't play each other much playing in the 1st rounds and will put on some great games I think.

Well we are a few hours away from the Iron Bowl! Roll Tide! Will be rooting for Ole Siss today, want them to beat MSU as that will lock us into the SEC title game regardless of outcome. If MSU wins, then we MUST win to get in as well.

Binnie I think you have the top 4 right except I think if Baylor wins out they jump TCU since they beat them head to head and FSU will be in if they beat UF.

well, the dogs lost to tech in overtime, we were driving to tie it up and 1st and goal at the nine and mason was intercepted.

bad season for the Georgia bulldogs, next year again.
god, I hope you have better luck than we did. im a rooting,
and a rooting for the tide now, I really think you will be national champs again.

Yea we watched the UGA/GT game. Both teams acted like they didn't want to win that one. UGA fumbles twice inside the 1, then GT fumbles at the 1, then UGA blocks the extra point in OT then throws a pick. Crazy.

georga scored a td, and with 18 seconds left they let tech move to the 36 yd line where with 3 seconds left, tech kicked a 53 yarder to go into overtime.

now, only Georgia can blow a game like that!!
mark richt's job in jeporady, had the talent didn't produce.
1- Alabama
2- florida st.
3- ohio st.
4-oregon

national champion- Alabama..........

Dixie, what a game. you can't tell me you were not upset with sims throwing 3 picks in the first half. you can't do that against Missouri.

let me know your thoughts on the game if you get a chance.

Sims playes with a lot of pressure and it showed today. I was screaming for Coker as I had enough at that point. Was good to see him bounce back and for us to avenge last years game. Was funny to see Malzahn dancing and screaming the 1st half then he went stone cold and silent......lol

As for Mizzou I'm not too worried. For them to lose to Indiana and UGA tells me they are not as good as some might think. We should be able to move the ball fairly well on the ground and we punch pur ticket to the playoff! I could see a Georgia-Mizzou type of score honestly.

Roll Tide!

I'm on my phone so please disregard any typos.

well, ill leave you with this, im going to make a case for ole miss, now, I know it's not gong to happen. but, can you leave a sec team who beat 2 of the top four teams in the nation, out of the final four? now, heres my four. when you get time list yours.

1--- Alabama
2--- florida st.
3---- Oregon
4--- Mississippi


national champ.......... alabama

If there is no upsets this week:

1. Bama
2. Oregon
3. FSU
4. Ohio State

That is what I think will happen. If Ohio St. beats Wisconsin I truly think the committee will move OSU above TCU and Baylor.

As for Ole Miss it won't happen. The only shot at 2 SEC teams was Mississippi St. winning out and Oregon or FSU losing. Now it is either Bama or bust for the SEC in the playoff.

yeah, well nobodys going to beat Alabama anyway. the winner of the iron bowl the last 5 seasons went to the national championship game.

Dixie, I would love to see Georgia tech beat fsu.

I would love to see Winston go down too, but I would rather see us do it instead of GT. I just don't see GT moving the ball on FSU but I've been wrong before!

concerning the florida vs florida st. game, the florida offense was tragic. had the ball in the red zone 3 times in the first half, and only got 9 points.

the florida offense looked like a bad high school team. fsu is going down, and Georgia tech just might do it. Sammy coates tore the dogs defense to shreds. love to see it.

I feel sorry for anyone who has to play the tide, no one can cover Armani cooper. and yelton can run.

Yes it will suck to see Amari Cooper and T.J. Yeldon go pro but they are gone without a doubt. I agree on Cooper, nobody can cover him one on one and he is the best WR in college right now. He will be a 1st round pick for sure. I thought even last year he was the best in the nation, but he was dealing with a foot injury all of last year and he rarely was the player he is now that he is 100% and even in the Iron Bowl he was probably only 85% due to a bruised knee he suffered against Western Carolina when he took a helmet to his knee.

I think no matter who FSU plays in the 1st round they will lose. I just don't see GT and that triple option will move the ball on FSU.

well, I do hope ga, tech puts it to them. about Armani cooper. I wish the seahawks would get him. sorry about you off the boards for three days. you didn't deserve it.

Omg as a big time Nebraska Cornhusker fan wat a joke of a hire Mike Riley really? Omg Nebraska is goin become a joke with this guy.. big mistake firing Bout Pelini he must be laughing. I'm afraid for Nebraska and saddened for fans of BIG RED COUNTRY

Nebraska, has a great tradition and has more than a few national champions. and great coaches, bob devaney, tom Osborne.

they will be up there once again, give than 2 years.

No biggie, just got tired of seeing an idiot repeat himself constantly.



I agree. We tried to hire Riley when he was the OC of the Saints I think it was. The Chargers were still paying him from where they fired him and if he got the Bama job he wanted us to pay the difference in pay he was going to lose from the Chargers and we told him to screw off. I would have rather had Mike Shula than Riley after seeing him coach. I think Nebraska screwed up big time, you'd think they would have learned after firing Solich but I guess they want to bomb again?

well, dix, I missed you buddy. im watching as the game ended and you blew out misssouri 42-13. simms looked good, as did jones, [whoever he is] like you need another cooper.

it looks more, and more, like your tide and Oregon in the national championship game. [like you need another trophy]
that henry looks as good as yelton. and jones looks like a great one. the only way to beat your tide is to go long.

Yea Tyren Jones was an Atlanta area product, that wasn't his first time in that Dome as Georgia plays their high school championships in it. He was the 4th stringer to begin the year and after Kenyan Drake got hurt he didn't really play at all. He will be a good one though.

Henry still needs work hitting the hole, etc. but when he figures it all out you better look out! He's 240lbs. and is our fastest RB. You will not catch him if he gets into space. It's just not fair for a kid that big to run that fast.

I'm not sure why our jinx is the long ball. I think our DB's are giving up on the ball or not getting their head around with the ball in the air. I think Saban and Kirby Smart will be dialing up confusing blitz packages for OSU's 3rd string QB. I wouldn't be surprised to see the CB blitz come back (used to be a Saban specialty) in this game to confuse that inexperienced QB.

dix. that osu is truly amazing, i had no idea that they would cream Wisconsin so bad, and a third string qb? well, we will find out how good they are when they play the tide.

I stand behind my prediction,

tide over osu
Oregon over fla st.

national championship Alabama- Oregon.... Alabama
great game coming.

La Lou..... well, a bowl game with notre dame, looks like those Irishmen are gonna get a good ole Louisiana whupping,
miles is gonna thump their butts good, you just watch. he's gonna unload on those guys. and after that game everyone will forget the Arkansas game, except La Lou (who wants miles' head)

mark my words. miles..... is going to cream those Irishmen.

I'm not writing off ND. Last year we played Iowa and won by seven. Unless one of our QBs had a mid life crisis and becomes a superstar that game should be a lot closer than people think.

I'm looking forward to the playoffs. HOW OH ST is in the picture I have no idea, but I guarantee another SEC trouncing. The last two bowl games where OH ST faced an SEC opponent was the National Championships where they faced Florida and LSU.

They lost to Florida 41-14 in 2006
AND
lost to LSU 38-24 in 2007

Bama will add to the argument this year that OH ST should never be taken seriously again as a national powerhouse.

I too think LSU will beat ND, but as La Lou said it all hinges on LSU's QB play.

dix. and LaLou I see both notre dame and ohio st. getting a good ole sec trouncing. and, finally people realize they don't belong with the sec, ole miss gonna blow out Tcu, miss.st gonna
blow out Georgia tech, look for an sec sweep, and look for the Georgia bulldogs to slaughter Louisville.

Well Ohio State loses their OC to coach at Houston, haven't heard if he's coaching in the Semi against us or not.

don't matter, with the talent you got, OSU is just an afterthought, saban will never lose to them.

Half the people at my company will not be at work tomorrow, ULL faces Nevada this weekend. I have a feeling Nevada is going to whip them.

well, you seem to be a 1 point favorite, I think you will win it.

you creamed them 16-3. nice win for you louisanans.

It's a hate thing like BAMA-AUBBIE Binnie. ULL is the bastard step child of Louisiana in the shadows of LSU, and they hate it. The past four years they have played in that bowl because they are Sun Belt. Then they brag about how they won more bowl games the past four years than LSU. They get pretty pissed when you mention the Nola bowl only grossed ULL 500K while LSU is probably going to gross about 1.8- 1.9 Million for playing in the music city bowl.

"This is the Nola Bowl?....They can keep it"

Yea UAB has been running their mouth about how we were scared of them too

La lou, dix,- ULL wishes they had a 2 million dollar bowl, you can just bet they are green with envy concerning the big boys... LSU. dix UAB better hope they never meet the tide even in an exhibition game. saban will take no prisoners.

dallas won big yesterday and jerry jones is bragging them up, he's says they are going all the way to the super bowl. I guess he's getting alzheimers.

they will lose in their first playoff game and romo will choke. you can count on that..... I hate jones and the cowboys.

They are better off than my Dolphins. Barely beat a horrible Minnesota team and we are keeping Clueless Joe at HC for another year. Stephen Ross has made horrible decision after Horrible Decision since they day he bought the team.

well, the dolphins are a team that can be in the playoffs next year, they have talent. owners should stay away from the team, and let the gms run the team.

successful teams do not have owner interference.

Eleven wins Binnie....we should have at least eleven wins this season....I still haven't come around to face it...

Loss to Green Bay with :02 seconds left in the 4th Quarter

Loss to Detroit with :29 seconds left in the 4th Quarter

Loss to Denver after beating them the first three quarters with 1:34 left in the 4th Quarter

I will say this though, Manning and Brady's days are numbered and I mean this in age. The Broncos have lost A LOT of talent. The Patriots Brady and Gronkowski are also climbing in age.

I can't wait to see three to five years down the road. I believe the AFC East will be like it was when I was growing up as a kid. Miami and Buffalo duking it out for the title, back to the Flutie-Marino days. Both Miami and Buffalo are relatively young and are building each year. New England fans are in for a rude awakening like I was once Marino retired. It won't be long before Brady has to pack it in.

I understand everything you said. manning maybe good for next year, after that he will be gone. brady is good for maybe two more. those nfl hits take a toll on qbs.

and buffalo is going to hurt some people next year. the dolphins will be much more consistent next year, just imagine them with a stronger defense. a defense that can make those late game stops.

I think the afc is really going to go through some changes next year. Carolina is going to be better, Kansas city, san diego, cincinatti. the steelers are old, as is new England, Denver, we are going to see a different season next year.

I actually hope Kansas City becomes one of the better teams because of Alex Smith.

I have nothing against the 49ers but that man carried the team for the first half of the year before getting hurt then never even had the chance to get his job back. That was pretty low of Harbaugh in my opinion.

Smith is a drop back pocket guy that you can build a team around for a decade or more. This fad of the run and gun QB is only a flash in the pan and very short sighted. They are only good for how many years before that speed slows down? Take Kaepernick for example. I have not one bad thing to say about the guy he's done a damn good job so far. But how long does SF expect him to be their franchise QB? If he's still in the NFL at say Brady or Manning's age, do they think he's gonna juke and outrun the up and coming younger guys on defense?

Not to mention sooner or later 99% of them eventually get hurt to where they can't play anymore and the other 1% go to prison for fighting dogs (Sorry, I had to) .....It's about as bleak a future as being in the Mafia.

And that was Lalou's off the reservation rant for the day.

you never rant, you know your football as well as anyone on this site. and your right about kaepernicht, those legs will not hold up. nfl defenses will always take their toll on a running QB,

manzeil found that out,so did romo, Wilson in seattle is great, but, give him 2 more years and he wont be scrambling either. nfl history proves it.

GAMEDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! LSU, LSU, LSU!!!!!!!

Look for a healthy dose of Tiger running today, weather is crappy in Tennessee.

Looking rough early on for LSU today.

Whoa. Big Mistake listening to you SEC guys. Irish over LSU. How pathetic.

well, how is miles going to explain this one, losing to a crappy notre dame team. that lost 5 games. your are right he is shaming the sec, and he should resign at lsu. notre dame blocked a field goal, and stooped them on a fake field goal, shameful.

I wish the Georgia bulldogs had leonard fournette, a 100 yard kickoff return and lsu still blew the game.

goodbye les miles.

They can't fire him because we are probably losing Chavis. I wish they would fire him though. He tries to be "The Mad Hatter" and out thinks himself every time he tries it, look no further than the Bama game. Run all game, get to Overtime: Pass, Pass, Pass, Pass.

Did you bet on a game or something?

Don't feed the troll

Ole Siss is proving why they are Ole Siss right now. They blew their wad when they upset us.

Dixie, lalou. I can't believe it. im totally shocked. tcu thrashing ole miss, say it aint so guys. well, tomorrow is the day they send urban meyer back to ohio for shock treatments.

and you can just bet Oregon is going to beat fsu, give them a lot of pain.

lalou. you let the crummy notre dame team hold the ball for over 5 minutes to end the game. how can miles hold his head up?
national championship game Alabama vs Oregon....... Alabama.

No LaL, just a little playful ball bustin'. I'm a lousy gambler. I'm a sucker for the underdog. But I did pick LSU to beat ND in the Bowl Mania game on ESPN.

Dixie, well you blew it. blake sims lost it for you, the clown stinks as a qb, you had the game won until that dodo bird threw that last interception. also, you better get some new defensive coaches.

don't be surprised if saban lets the defensive coaches go. they gotta take some blame.

national championship game will be won by Oregon, ohio state wont be able to run or pass on them like they did the tide.

besides, they don't have blake sims to blow the game.

im pissed off at sims!

Well...so much for that.

Once again, I hate Meyer (though I respect his coaching ability) but he's proven time and again that he's the real deal wherever he goes. Though I don't think he will have enough weapons to beat the Ducks. I'm rooting for Oregon anyway. I like Mariota. Got nothing against Saban or the Tide but it's always good to see the SEC lose. And I knew FSU would be exposed.

lol, you wanna talk about the downfall of the Roman Empire, look no further than the implosion of the SEC this year. EYE OPENER!!

Nah, I wasn't expecting much from LSU. Miles knew Chavis was leaving so the teams focus wasn't on the game, but on what the hell will we do next year. Once again we will have a new defense next year because three guys that are sophomores are leaving early for the draft. The miles era is coming to an end. The players don't want to play for him and for a guy like Chavis to up and leave says A LOT about the state of the program. I wouldn't be surprised if we crumbled next year and had a losing season.

lalou, what was the bowl count with the sec this year? how many won, how many lost.

No idea Binnie if I had to guess I'd say its even or more on the losing side, 4-4, 4-5?

What really cost us the game in my opinion was the offensive playcalling. Henry was getting 8-9 yards a carry behind Cam Robinson (the true freshman LT) and I bet we only ran behind him 3 times the whole 2nd half. Didn't make any sense to me.

Well we lose a good bit on offense, but pretty much everyone is back on defense minus Landon Collins (Safety) and Trey DePriest (LB).

Honestly I didn't think we would get this far with Sims and this team this year, I truly thought before the season that the '15 team would be better IF the offense gets going.

Dixie, youre right the play calling was horrible. and at least once contributed to an interception, but sims played a terrible game, you could see on the sidelines that saban was not happy with sims.

LALOU....... well, I do think next year is going to be better for the SEC, the Georgia bulldogs are a coming power, and I think Arkansas will surprise people, south Carolina will be much better, never count out spurrier,

forget the mississippis, and Missouri, the tide better get a qb. I see LSU vastly improved, or it will be miles's last year. auburn has peaked, I look for a great SEC year.

So who wins it all next week?

Everyone says Oregon, But that QB from Oh St is a big boy, took 3 and 4 defenders to bring him down. Oregon will spread it out, but OH ST is going to run right at you.

good point LAlou, much like vince young when texas beat usc, the kid showed me a lot, he should be no 1 next year, ohio st. impressed me and I give urban meyer all the credit in the world.

but, I still gotta go with Oregon, should be a great one.

Gonna be a tough one to pick for sure

Believe it or not, I'd take Oh St and the seven. Oregon is quick on defense, but that QB isn't going to do the Jamesis dance (Flop like a fish in the pocket) The guy will tuck it and run like a RB and I don't see Oregon being able to handle him the same way. They can keep a guy in to spy on him in coverage, but its going to take more than one man to bring him down.

im thinking the same thing, this kid is big, and you give him a year or two, and I see one great college QB, but his lack of experience will show against Oregon, i'll take the ducks but to give 7 points is a little crazy. it should be even up.

I'll tell you one thing, after OSU's OC won the Broyles Award (top assistant) I was kinda mad after the job Kiffin did but after watching both play the OSU coach without a doubt deserved it. On their 3rd QB and they are STILL in the title game and only losing 1 game plus beat the 1 seed in the first round.

I read the other day that 28 million watched the Bama/OSU game. That's pretty damn impressive.

I'd take OSU and the 7 as well. I wasn't impressed with Mariota and his "all world" passing skills. He routinely threw into double coverage against FSU and I just don't see him making it as a NFL QB. But with Bosa's rush skills and Mariota's throwing I wouldn't be surprised to see him have a bad game Monday.

in all honesty the tide kinda beat themselves, you take out sims, and put in a real QB and the tide wins easily.

I hope for your sake Saban isn't doing something extreme and grooming Kiffin for when he finally decides he's stepping down, however long that might be.

I know the Tide/Tiger hate/rivalry will always be there (The REAL Tiger's, not the War Eagle-Tigers-Giraffe-"Whatever name we pick out of the hat for the week" Auburn) , but I wouldn't wish hurricane Kiffin on my worst enemy.

***Side note to Auburn, Mizzou and other Teams calling themselves "Tigers": If you wanna be Tigers, get a real Tiger. Until then put a cheerleader in a mascot suit or fly your chicken hawk (Let's be honest, it's not an eagle ) before each game.

about tiffin, could never figure out why Alabama hired the guy, he stunk at usc, got rid of him in mid-season. I never thought he was any good as a coach. he stays at Alabama, his play-calling will get worse.

God I hope not. Most around seem to think we'll go after the best coach available after he retires or we promote Kirby Smart (DC) if he stays. Any of those two are much better choices than Kiffin. Most here think Kiffin is gone after next year anyways.

lalou- Dixie. well, tonight is the big one. the more I think about it the more I like Oregon, I just got done looking at their season, they always dominate in the second half, because their plays are run so quick.

and, it just wears out a defense, im looking for Oregon to wear out ohio states defense, and completely dominate the second half. Im starting to see an Oregon blowout.

your thoughts.

man, ohio state blew them away, Alabama could not stop ezekiel Elliot, and cardell jones, and even with 4 turnovers Oregon did not score in the red zone.

Oregon had no running game at all, when OSU knew mariota had to pass, he failed miserbly. Oregon looked terrible.

As a lifelong Ohio State fan, it was very gratifying to see the Buckeyes handle Alabama and whip up on Oregon. Urban Meyer brought the SEC to the Big 10: big players with speed.

O-H-I-O!!!

well, it looks like ohio st. is going to terrorize the big ten nexy year, I don't know how anyone can stop Ezekiel Elliot, or cardell jones,

urban meyer is coach of the year, he proved how great he is.and hes not done yet, great defense, great offense, who going to stop them.

Great game we cooked the ducks. Cardale was awesome and Elloitt is a beast. Congrats to the Bucks!!

Oregon -6.5 was a steal.

you were saying something like that a few days ago, man, if Alabama can't stop that ohio train, and they tear up Oregon, look out for urban meyer again next year.

nobody is going to stop this ohio st. train!!

Yep if I bet on games I would have put a chunk on that line. After what OSU did to Bama (talking about mainly the run game, everyone knew they would throw on us) I thought they were blind or crazy to set this line at 6.5

I'm not even sure how they would get action on Oregon's side with that kind of line either.

Big Ten won 5 of 10 bowl games and the big one. In the 10 games, they were not the favorite. Not bad. Maybe the power is beginning to shift.

Wasn't it brought down to about 5 after the Oregon WR was supsended for the game?

The only thing stopping the Bucks on Monday night was the Ohio State turnovers. They were driving at will nearly every drive after their opening possession. My sense from the game was that had OSU not had 4 turnovers, their offense would have put up 56-60 points.

The domination of the OSU line was reminiscent of how easily Alabama handled Notre Dame in 2012 and also when Florida had a decisive speed/size advantage over OSU in 2006.

Tressel had plenty of speed as well, as Ohio State always has. Urban brought more of a spread offense. As a born and bred Ohio guy, recruiting has never been an issue, especially when John Cooper was there. While the Big 10 has been a down a bit, you could bank on the fact that Ohio State is a force and with Harbaugh at Michigan, Franklin at PSU, D'Antonio at MSU and Chryst at WISC, the Big 10 will recruit well and compete.

While I give the SEC alot of credit for the amazing accomplishments, one has to wonder if they would have won that many National Titles with a playoff system in place? Playoffs is the way that it should have been for a long time and I hope they eventually go to an 8 team playoff

I agree with most of what you say Oscar. Tressel's guys had speed, but it was behind the SEC in the 2006 & 2007 title game beatdowns. Those games vs. Fla & LSU exposed the divide between the Big 10 & SEC at the time.

And while John Cooper could recruit, he was - far and away - the worst game coach OSU has had in my lifetime. There were so many years his teams had way more talent and he ended up losing to teams that had no business winning. He couldn't beat Michigan or win a bowl game. If memory serves me correctly, the '93 and definitely the '98 teams were glaring examples of how Cooper lost these games. If Tressel, Bruce, or Meyer had been coaching those teams, they would have at least 2 more national championship trophies.

I think it's great that the Big 10 is getting more competitive. It's better for college football. Michigan is an historic program and they have been an abomination since Carr retired. I think Harbaugh will restore them to prominence, but I doubt he stays there for than 5 years. I get the feeling he'll move back to the NFL and tire of recruiting.

I agree 100% about Cooper. Best recruiter, worse game manager. In 1996 when he had Eddie George, David Boston, Terry Glenn, Andy Katzenmoyer, Orlando Pace, Pepe Pearson etc they should have been National Champs, but he couldn't win the big one. Michigan has three key Ohio guys coaching in Harbaugh (Toledo), Durkin (Youngstown) and Zordich (Youngstown). I know both Durkin and Zordich personally, so I am happy for them...but I'll be rooting against them. Harbaugh's biggest problem is he has a hard time getting along with anybody who is a superior, so it will be interesting to see how he gets along with wealthy alumni and administration.

I think you folks are burying the SEC far too early here, take away an simms interception, and Alabama beats OSU, the SEC is by no means close to taking a back seat to any conference.

remember that's just one national championship for any other conference in 8 years. the SEC is going to be right up there for a long time.

That's what it was Oscar, 1996. Thanks. That was the year after they won the Rose Bowl, correct? I want to say that Eddie George was the Heisman winner in 1995.

Cooper had the great ability to recruit guys who were ready to use OSU as a launching pad to the NFL. Just based on your list, I think everyone but Pearson went on to the NFL. I'll never forget the one year they went to play Michigan and let Biakabutuka run for over 300 yards. That could only happen to a Cooper team.

You raised a good point about Harbaugh and authority. There is something wrong with him if the 49ers were so willing to get rid of a guy who went to the Super Bowl and 3 straight NFC championships. So I can definitely see him torking off a wealthy donor or alum. Let's hope that happens sooner rather than later.

Oscar, you seem to really know your college football, and I agree an 8 team playoff would be more than fair. starting with a 6 team playoff.

look at TCU ignored by the committee, and goes on to wax Mississippi in a bowl game, they were making a statement, as well they should have, without a 6 or 8 team playoff somebody is going to get treated unfairly.

Pearson actually had a cup of coffee with the 49ers, Jags, Browns, Bears, Lions & Bucanneers but was out of the NFL by 2001. That team also had other notable players such as Mike Vrabel (DE/OLB), Brent Bartholomew (Punter), Na'il Diggs (LB), Nick Goings (RB), Shawn Springs (DB) and Rob Kelly (DB). Personally, I hope he brings Michigan back to top tier because I have not missed an Ohio State v Michigan game is 21 years, so I'd like to see "The Game" renewed and some epic battles.

Not in the least bit, as I have respect for the power programs in the SEC. I do not think they are finished, but we do see the Big 10 on the upswing with the addition of Harbaugh, Franklin and Chryst. Let's face it, Ole Miss and Miss St played out of their ass and when the schedule got tough around week 8, they got hammered. I think both programs have done a nice job, but in no way will they compete with BAMA, LSU, AUB, FLA. These have been the top 4 SEC teams. Granted, FLA and LSU had a few down years, but their recruiting is still great. Georgia perplexes me and so does the extension of Mark Richt's contract. As for the other SEC teams, they're right there in the middle of the pack like Pac 12, Big 12 and Big 10 teams are year in and year out. Also, keep in mind that the BCS computer ratings and picks were a bullshit way of choosing who plays in the big game. However, I will give credit to the SEC for the wild success that they have had. The SEC will compete for the playoffs every year, but this levels the playing field a bit having a playoff. IMO, I think it should go to at least 6 teams, and would be ideal with the top 8.

boy, do I ever agree with you about mark richt, he blew the GA,TECH game calling for a squib kick with 30 seconds left, then GA, TECH comes back and beats the dogs with a field goal.

I live up here in the far north, but all my family is from Georgia, and the bulldogs are my favorite team.

and the last few years we have had the horses but, cant get the brass ring. I wish that richt would go.

I agree with you and yes, I eat, breathe and sleep college football as well as the recruiting process in high school. I love the NFL, but I like College football a bit better. And if I were a TCU fan, I understand they are upset. We all know FSU did not belong in the top 4, but they were the defensing National Champions and they ran the table for a second year in a row...so IMO, they should have been there as ugly as their wins were. The first year of the playoffs were a HUGE success...Think about, if the BCS was still in place, they would have had Bama v FSU for the game, in which both teams got handled in the Rose & Sugar bowls.

Richt is like John Cooper, a hell of a recruiter but can't get over the hump. He's a "good" coach, but not elite and at a program with the rich history like Georgia has, they need an elite coach. I still remember the days of Herschel Walker..he was unreal in college.

I cannot understand how OH ST has not ONE, but THREE Heisman Caliber QB's.......and LSU has Harry and Lloyd from dumb and dumber. Testament to Miles and his perpetuated genius.

It's January, I'm saying it now:

DO NOT BET ON LSU POINT SPREADS NEXT YEAR

New defensive coordinator in a new system. AKA Corky Miles will be calling trick plays on defense.

Two best D backs declared for the NFL early, so back to an inexperienced freshman secondary. Can't throw the ball so line up and run, then miss a 8 yard pass on 3rd.....Aw shit, we've become Arkansas.....

you're not going to be that bad, don't forget you have the best back in college football. leonard fournette, you are going to win some games just having him.

the kid is great,he ran back a 100 yd kickoff return, miles will build an offense around him.

Keep in mind that Jim Tressel was a hell of a recruiter as well. Ohio State always has depth. There was certainly star power in Jim Tressel's final class at Ohio State, highlighted by Braxton Miller, Devin Smith, Michael Bennett, Doran Grant and 2014 NFL first round pick, Ryan Shazier.

A number of key contributors remain on Urban Meyer's current roster, including tight ends Jeff Heuerman and Nick Vannett, wide receiver Evan Spencer, and linebacker Curtis Grant. Grant and Miller were the headliners of the class, each earning a composite five-star ranking.

Shazier, who became a star for the Buckeyes, was the country's seventh-ranked outside linebacker. Interestingly, the Plantation High School product had committed to Florida early in the process, but re-opened his recruitment when Urban Meyer's left Gainesville. That opened the doors for Tressel and the Buckeyes, who had finished second to Meyer initially. The rest, as they say, is history.

If you count Braxton Miller, there are eight players (33%) from the 2011 class listed as starters on Ohio State's current depth chart and 12 (50%) in the two-deep of their "natural" senior season.

You got that right. Kevin Steele got too big for his britches one time here when he left Bama for Clemson to be a DC and was fired after giving up 70 in the Orange Bowl.

He wasn't a great position coach at Bama either and that is what hurts us, we have a ton of great recruiters but not game day coaches. Also it has been rumored he has been fooling around with students. Other than Saban and Smart we lack game day coaches.

Auburn thinks they hit a home run getting Lance Thompson for us. He coaches LB's too this year, and our LB's were very weak compared to years past. Now Tosh Lupoi moves to OLB's and Smart moves back to ILB's and we got the Bears DC to coach the DB's for us. We definitely won in those trades.

I will go on record now to say that the Big 10 is definitely on the rise again. With James Franklin at PSU, Urban Meyer at OSU, Jim Harbaugh at Michigan, Mark D'Antonio at Michigan State and Paul Chryst at Wisconsin, these college coaches are marquee and if you look at Penn State's recruiting, Franklin is doing an unbelievable job. Meyer & Harbaugh will be going head to head and "The Game" will get back to being "The Game" to watch. While I respect the SEC and their accomplishments over the last 8 years, one has to seriously think of what could have been if a college playoff was in place 10 years ago. If the BCS was still in place, Bama v FSU would have been the title game this year. IMHO, Les Miles won that National Championship with Nick Saban's recruits back in 2007. Since then, LSU has been up and down. Let's face it, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Arkansas, Kentucky and Vanderbilt are very similar to Northwestern, Purdue, Iowa, Minnesota and Illinois. This is just a rough comparison demonstrating that after the power teams of the SEC conference, the rest is average to subpar.

Over the last 10 years:

Arkansas- 67-56
Miss St- 64-61
Ole Miss- 58-66
Kentucky- 53-71
Vanderbilt- 52-71


Northwestern- 67-58
Iowa- 63-54
Minnesota- 55-71
Purdue- 51-73
Illinois- 47-76

Oscar, you put up a great argument for the big ten, but, lets wait and see what happens this year. as far as what would have happened if there were a playoff ten years ago.

I see one big injustice, the year lsu and usc both shared the title, they should have played each other.

I actually agree with Oscar on the Les Miles winning the NC with Saban's recruits. The guy is a flopping flounder. Wish Michigan would have offered him more money

LALOU, you got the makings of a good team next year, maybe we can get leonard fournette to bolt LSU, and play for the Georgia bulldogs this coming year.

no, if that happened you might have a stroke at your young coon-ass age.

LOL Binnie don't you be putting them bad ideas in his head! If he has a stellar year next season and we lose two or three close ones, I see him declaring early for the draft. I saw we just picked up y'all WR coach, I assume he can't be horrible since he was there during the Stafford years.

Well fellas, it's a big year for college football with pro style QB's plentiful for next year's NFL Draft 2016. My Buckeyes are LOADED again. Bama will have a big adjustment year and Ole Miss and Miss St will bite a few teams but flounder when the game means anything, per usual. I like Auburn this year in the SEC.

don't forget the Georgia bulldogs. they are going to the team to beat this year.

look at their schedule and tell me they don't have 8 wins already.

As ALWAYS, the Georgia Bulldogs shit the bed and lose to a much less talented team. 10-2. Plus, Gurley is gone. I like Georgia and Mark Richt, but they always play down to their competition.

Auburn, Bama, LSU, Florida (YES, FLORIDA), SC and Georgia are still the competing teams for National titles. I like Auburn this year, their defense is loaded.

It's going to be hard to beat OSU, they may have 6 first round draft choices next year

You can scratch out LSU.

We have no defense and no QB

the Georgia bulldogs will never count out LSU, the minute you do, those coon-asses will kick your ass, you are being too hard on those tigers already.

remember you heard it here first, those lsu tigers will surprise you this year, I see them as the spoilers of the SEC,

Loaded?

They lost a TON of DB's in the offseason and only picked up the one transfer from Michigan. I wouldn't get my hopes up on this unit.

Dixie. look at the Georgia bulldogs schedule, and tell me they don't have 8 games in their pocket right now.

this is the dogs year.

We hear that every year from the Dogs. Until they get a QB (one of the 3 could be good for all I know) they will be no threat for the East and definitely not the SEC. If they do have one, no doubt they will win the East.

Speaking of UGA QB's, I talked to Aaron Murray a few weeks ago. He was on a flight with me out of Dallas/Ft. Worth to Atlanta. Now I see why the NFL was not high on him, he is listed at 6'1" and that is about 3-4" too high.

we got three qbs, brice ramsey. jacob park, and faton bauta, we have two excellent defensive players back, jordan Jenkins, and leonard Floyd.

don,t forget chubb, and the offensive line is solid.

we can beat the tide this year.

Like I said last year, you couldn't do it with Gurley AND Marshall when Marshall was considered a top back to go along with Murray, what makes you think you can do it without a top QB and a good RB. All the SEC defenses will do is make those green UGA QB's throw the ball because Chubb will see 8 men in the box at least. Last year the East had ZERO DEFENSE, something the West does not lack.

Remember, UGA didn't face many "great" rush defenses. You got to have a great passing attack AND run game to beat Bama or come close. Just don't see UGA having that next year. Maybe in 2 years.

The only teams I can see having a chance against Bama next year in the regular season is LSU and Auburn and not because they are great but because they always play us good. UGA could keep it close considering they are at home and have to hope Chubb runs for 250 which I don't see.

As for UGA and their schedule this is what I think:

ULM-Win
@ Vandy-Win
South Carolina-??? Always a toss up
Southern-Win
Alabama-Loss (just don't see it yet)
@ Tennessee-??? Another toss up
Missouri-Win
Florida-Close Win (I think McElwain does good but not year 1)
Kentucky-Win
@ Auburn-Loss (Only because it's at the cow pasture)
Georgia Southern-Win
@ Georgia Tech-???

So I have UGA at 7-2 with 3 toss ups. I'm leaning towards a win against South Carolina, Tennessee is just too hard to figure out but I think they will be tougher this year, and GT seems to be the thorn in UGA's side now and with Thomas back to run that triple option UGA could be in trouble.

the dogs had GT beat last year until that moron coach called for a squib kick, still can't see why they gave him a contract extension.

again, its the dogs year.

Maybe you're right, but I just don't see it happening.

2015 College Football Preview according to Oscar (in no particular order and who I believe could have success at thier respected position in the NFL)

Top QB's

Christian Hackenberg- PSU
Jared Goff- Cal
Connor Cook- MSU
Dak Prescott-Miss St
Cody Kessler-USC

Top RB's

Ezekiel Elliot-OSU
Nick Wilson-Arizona
Nick Chubb-UG
Samaje Perine-Okla
Corey Clement-Wisc

Top WR's

Rashard Higgins-CSU
Sterling Shepard-Okla
Tyler Boyd-Pitt
Laquan Treadwell-Miss St
Duke Williams-Aub

TE's

Jake Duzey-Iowa
Hunter Henry-Ark
Nick Vannet-OSU
Austin Hooper-Stan
OJ Howard-Bama

While I like you putting O.J. Howard in there as a top TE and he will probably be drafted on his size and speed alone, he is not a top 5 TE in my opinion. His blocking is suspect, and his production is no where near top 5 material. He has severely under performed here. Yes if he goes pro this year he'll probably have the fastest 40 time at the combine among TE's, but more than likely the NFL will move him to WR or make him bulk up big time if he wants to play TE. He just has issues with going to get the ball as well as drops and blocking issues.

He could end up being our next Ozzie Newsome (best Bama TE of all time and 2nd best WR only to Amari Cooper) in the NFL but he has a ways to go with blocking, route running, and catching. It doesn't help of course that since McElroy/McCarron left there has been hardly any throwing to the TE. McElroy loved it with Colin Peek and that is why we shredded a Senior Tebow led Florida team in the real national title game in the SEC Title Game in 2009. Blake Sims was shaky at best and only went to Amari and had no idea how to make reads and it showed in the Semi's against Ohio State and the auBARN game.

Oscar, im glad you put chub in there, he has the ability to be one of the bulldogs greatest ever, and we are deep at QB. also our defense is the best its been in years.

we have a schedule made in heaven, and we play the tide this year, the rumor is chub, and our defense are going to make saban tremble.

Oscar you didn't have that coonass from lsu as a running back. leonard fournette, why?

Shit I guarantee you the Tide defense is not trembling over Nick Chubb nor is the offense shaking over UGA's defense.

Georgia is rich with RB history and tradition, Chubb reminds me of Garrison Hearst, who had an amazing NFL career considering his devastating injuries. He was untouchable at Georgia. The reason I don't have Leonard Fournette in "my" top 5 is because LSU puts out subpar at best RB's to the NFL. Chubb is the real deal IMO

OJ Howard has the skills to be a "great" hybrid TE that many NFL OC's are transitioning to. He's a freakish athlete and if he was utilized "properly" he could be more talented than that dipshit Aaron Hernandez (the football player) was at Florida. Plus, I said it was "my" top 5 and I also based this off players who I thought would translate well at the next level. Notice I have no dual threat QB's (besides Prescott who is an excellent passer). And I agree with you on route running, but his QB's were average and Kiffin never ran a pass catching TE type offense even at USC. Kiffin is a good coordinator (rotten HC) but a jackass for his lack of incorporating additional weapons into the offense...pure and simple. Bama's D needs to step up as well if they plan on going to the CFP. This season is going to be exciting, a few teams that may surprise some people.

And the Buckeyes defense is loaded this year! Our roster is so stacked, we could potentially have a dynasty. Meyer has gone back to his Ohio roots and got the job he always wanted...great recruiter, like his predecessors Cooper & Tressel.

when Jim harbaugh beats Urban Meyer on a regular basis in a few years from now. Urban will fake another heart attack and step down as head coach like he did at Florida. And im not a fan of Michigan either.

We'll be better on defense, our D-Line could be our strength and we return pretty much every DB as well as we hired Mel Tucker from the Bears to coach our DB's. With Tony Brown and hopefully Marlon Humphrey getting some experience we should be better at DB. Ronnie Harrison is a true freshman that is making A LOT of noise at Safety. Eddie Jackson the former DB has moved to the other safety spot, he was our best tackling DB and with his coverage skills helps us in the back end tremendously.

Our biggest question mark will be on offense honestly with our QB spot. Jake Coker has yet to sew up the starting job, and many are saying RS-Freshman David Cornwell (Norman OK) is actually leading Coker for our starting job. Another huge QB with a cannon but supposedly has consistency problems like Coker. At RB expect Derrick Henry and Kenyan Drake (broken ankle vs Ole Miss) to be back and ready to go. True Freshman Damien Harris (Berea KY) could be getting carries out of the backfield too especially since Bo Scarbrough hurt his knee and then made his comeback until the NCAA suspended him for 4 games. At WR look for ArDarius Stewart to be the go to guy this year. He's an electric gamebreaker type like Amari Cooper was, but of course he is not as polished as Cooper of course. Our O-Line should be very solid.

If we don't win the SEC, we'll definitely be in the running for it at worst this year. Like I said QB play and RB depth is our biggest issues this year.

HEY Dixie, how is Blake Barnett looking? I thought maybe he would step up. I think he enrolled in January.

Sorry buddy I just now seen you replied to this thread. I need to keep a check in here more often....lol

Barnett has to beef up some. There were rumors he was in the top 3 at one point, but our QB battle shifted so much during the offseason it wasn't even funny. The rumors were it was:

1a. Jake Coker-Senior
1b. David Cornwell-RS Freshman
3. Alec Morris-Senior
4. Cooper Bateman-RS Soph
5. Blake Barnett-Freshman

Then Cornwell had some fling with a chick over the summer and something bad happened (nothing illegal) between them and rumors were he was more worried about her than the playbook and the QB battle and after the last scrimmage it ended up something like this:

1. Alec Morris
2. Jake Coker
3. Blake Barnett
4. Cooper Bateman
5. David Cornwell

And then the Wisconsin game rolls around and it ends up like this:

1. Jake Coker
2. Cooper Bateman
3. Alec Morris
4. Blake Barnett
5. David Cornwell

But all in all it seems now that Coker is taking the job over and Bateman is the solid #2 right now as well after practicing at WR in the spring. Word is Barnett has looked fairly good, but still had playbook issues which is expected by a true freshman learning to live in Alabama by way of California as his whole family moved here so they could watch him in person. The general consensus is that he will for sure Redshirt just due to all the QB's on the roster.

But next year I fully expect him to battle for the starting job and hopefully wins it. I think his style is perfect for Kiffin's system. He has moves almost as good as Blake Sims had but he is a much more refined passer than Sims ever was. Also it seems that Kiffin's system now is pretty hard to learn as Sims, Coker, and Bateman all had issues learning the system and running the no huddle which we run now.

But most people expect him to battle Bateman and Cornwell for the job next year if Cornwell doesn't transfer.

-------------------

LaLou,

Why didn't y'all finish the game the other night? I would have thought y'all would have especially with Mittitippi State coming up this week.

Dixie, I live in Mississippi so naturally the Ole Miss- Alabama game is a big topic here this week. I am a Southern Miss grad so do not have a dog in the hunt but my Dad is a big MSU booster. Surprisingly he is pulling for Ole Miss. What is your prediction? I think Alabama wins but close. Give me a score. I go Bama 27-24.

forget bama, hasn't anyone heard of the Georgia bulldogs, it's their year.

the best running back in college football, NICK CHUBB

with an offense built around him, look at the dogs schedule...

you heard it here first!! IT'S THE DOGS YEAR!

Golden Eagle I think it is still a sham we don't play y'all anymore. Every year we knew we couldn't circle y'all as a win like the first game of the year and the game before the Iron Bowl (before schedule changes) because y'all always played us tough. I remember probably the only time I ever booed at a Bama game was when Mike DuBose was our coach and y'all SHUT US OUT. That might be the last time it's been done as well. That loss and the year Brett Favre beat us are the two that stick out in my mind.

As for Bama/Ole Miss this weekend here are my thoughts:

Boils down to Chad Kelly vs. the Bama rush, Bama's DB's vs. Ole Miss offense, Ole Miss MUST rush for 150 or more to even have a chance or Bama wins. I just don't see Chad Kelly handling the pressure to beat us, but I do think he hurts us a good bit. Luckily though our DB's looked better last week as MTSU can sling it and we shut them down. But as I've said above it boils down to Chad Kelly and can he have the game of his life plus can OM rush for 150 or more. That's the only way any team can beat Bama.

As for a score, I say we win 35-31 with OM getting a late score to make it 31. With it being in Tuscaloosa and the fact Saban is good at motivating the team especially in the year after a team beats us I think we will take it. 8:15pm kickoff in Tuscaloosa gives the students time to get drunk and rowdy and Bama's crowd is always louder at night than day games.

Binnie you say that every year! Chubb is NOT better than the Gurley/Marshall tandem y'all had when we beat y'all in the Georgia Dome for the SEC Title. From what I seen of y'all last Saturday I'm definitely not worried. No way Chubb beats us alone with a pro style offense. We will eat his lunch and make him like it. The QB y'all have was a mediocre QB at Virginia and still is in Athens and for none of the UGA QB's to beat him out tells me Richt has nobody else which is unusual for him as he generally always has a good QB somewhere.

Y'all better learn a no huddle offense before October 3rd and figure out how to give the ball to Chubb. Otherwise you'll get to see Chubb rush 20 times for maybe 65 yards.

And speaking of Madison, I've worked a tornado and an ice storm or two near y'all in the past few years. The tornado I was actually East of Jackson in Pearl, Richland, Flowood, and Brandon. On the ice storms we were anywhere from Jackson, Ridgeland, Madison, and Canton. Entergy loves us and of course we love them now

Gonna be a long year. Not sure why we didn't finish, it's going to screw us over in the long haul.

When you guys play us, stop Fournette and you stop LSU. First down, run Fournette. Second down, run Fournette, Third down, pass twenty yards over everyone's head. PUNT!

Yea Harris looks a lot like Coker at this point, lonely and lost.....lol

http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/ncaafb/c...amp;ocid=HPCDHP

what do you think of this, the writer has a point.

sorry, Dixie...... those missisippi boys got your number, 2yrs in a row now.

ask steve spurrier how good Georgia is, we pounded him and his gamecocks so bad he cried. lambert threw for 330yds and 3 tds, chubb ran for 159 yds. 52-20

now, when you come into Athens on oct 3 you gonna be meat for my dogs!!

ooooooops

Alabama trounced the Georgia bulldogs, the rain just stopped georgias running backs.

on a dry field the Georgia bulldogs would have won

Binnie my man I've said time and time again there is NO TEAM in America that doesn't run a no huddle that's going to line up man vs. man and run the ball on Bama. I don't think many NFL teams can do it. If it wasn't for Bama playing around on Defense on Chubb's 86 yard TD run he would have had like 60 something yards. We shut his ass DOWN and made y'all realize what Lambert really is, a terrible QB that transferred from a bad ACC team.

We could have played today's game in the desert, dry field, snow, or in a corn field and the result would have been the same. What is funny is that UGA came on the field barking like dogs when Bama came out to warm up like it would intimidate us. Yea Bama is really scared of most NCAA teams

People do NOT want to see a confident Jake Coker because if he plays like he did today we will NOT lose again. The only thing I was mad about was Henry's fumble early on that could have killed us much like Ole Siss and the fact Bo Scarbrough only got 2 carries at the very end.

well, you have proven yourself to me, and lambert will never get another start, chubb is good, but, against a good defense he is just another back.

y'all looked super Dixie, maybe coker is better thsn simms of last year

saban is very much up to it when they have to win, congrats Dixie. THE TIDE IS A GREAT BALLCLUB

Thanks man. There is NO REASON Georgia shouldn't be back in Atlanta when the season is over honestly. If not, Richt should be fired.

Teams like UGA are what our defense was built for from the ground up by Saban, that's the reason we are trying to figure out this no huddle crap. I'm not quite sure our guys are the best at doing it. Maybe they need to go get help like coaches do in the off-season.

At this point, I say it's Bama vs. UGA or LSU vs. UGA for the SEC Title.

As for Coker Binnie this is what has killed him the past two years:

He can't run a no huddle offense. Period. He was the backup for A.J. McCarron at St. Paul's Episcopal in Mobile who never threw a lot until A.J. came along. After A.J. left they went back to the Wing-T I think it was. So they never took advantage, then I'm really not sure what all happened at Tallahassee, but we get him last year and decide to run a no huddle offense that the coaches NOR the players can get in on time. Last week before the UGA game was over you could hear Coker scream at the sideline because the play call still wasn't in and of course we have to call a timeout. Next play the same bullshit but not halfway closer to the coaches and get flagged. By they point Coach Saban is ticked and probably made one for them and it was boring as all get out. I just don't get it!

Slow the offense down like the old Bama teams did (yea like all the title teams did) and just outscore them. Run a series of two of no huddle like we did against Texas A&M when Johnny Football and crew changed places on the bench so quick they had no idea what to do. That is what led us to that win. Go back to our OLD STYLE and teach our offense their best 2-minute offense and use that as our no huddle and go with it. We had A&M players on their backs wondering WTF just happened. Go back and loooking at that tape.

richt must go. watched the tennesse game in utter disappointment

never have I seen a more confused Georgia football team, someone must be held accountable for blowing a 21 pt lead,

some dodo bird dropped a td pass in the last minute of the game.

there are no excuses richt must leave.

I think I agree at this point. No sense in them looking THAT bad against UT.

Gonna be an interesting week Dixie

Yes it is. Can't wait for Saturday night! Hopefully it will be a good game no matter what side we end up on.

Oh yea if we win be sure to beat Ole Siss for us would ya? We actually hoped the barn would do it this past weekend, but that's what we get for hoping the barn would beat anyone

No more talking for either of us now LaLou, 19 hours away!!

Looks like the rain might be out of here by tonight luckily but the field will probably be in rough shape from all the rain we're getting. Either way I hope for a good safe game! I would say hard hitting but all know it is liable to happen!

well, Alabama is indeed awesome, shutting down leonard fournette, and dominating LSU, there defense is triple a and with henry, and coker,

who can beat them

We actually shut him down last year too. He only had 79 yards on 21 carries last year. I think we proved we have the best front 7 without a doubt in college football this year. They ain't playing around!

Dixie, I don't know how you rate your all-time Alabama teams,

but this team is as great as they come, what a defense! and henry is as good a back as the tide has ever had.

I dont know how they lost to Mississippi,

I think the 2011 defense was better overall, but this defensive line might be the best we've ever had including better than the '92 team which had Eric Curry and John Copeland at ends that dominated the unbeatable Miami team.

The Ole Miss game included one pass that was thrown blindly and straight up in the air that bounced off our DB's hands and right into the Ole Miss WR hands for a TD, then the last touchdown that sealed it Chad Kelly was almost past the line of scrimmage when he threw the pass with linemen more than 5 yards downfield which should have been flagged and wasn't. Add that to 5 turnovers and for some reason us starting Cooper Bateman at QB (still didn't understand that move) and you'll see why we lost that game. If we played them again it's not even close.

brother, that Alabama ! this team has got to be up there with their best ever, their defense is the best ive ever seen in college football.

looks like another national championship for saban !!

I don't think it's even close to 11 or 09 or even 92. This is our best D-Line ever without a doubt, but overall we would be behind those others I listed. If we play like that against Clemson they don't have a chance.

great game Dixie, loved it, give credit to that Clemson QB, he kept them In it,

great runback of that punt, turned the game around for you.

Year of the Tiger, what are we less than a month away?

Bama still gonna take the West ;-)

Roll Tide dixiemafia! Can't wait.

ok guys forget about Georgia, and see what happens, new coach, new coaching staff, get ready for a vastly improved Georgia bulldog team, and if you don't prepare for them, they will bury you.

roll tide my butt!! this is the Georgia bulldogs year!!

Just read yesterday. Blake Barnett is looking real good in camp. Kid was rated just behind Josh Rosen coming out H.S.

I'd be surprised if Barnett starts. I'd rather have him of course but Saban generally leans towards experience and Bateman has more. If Bateman is our QB we will lose some games.

Better look out for the darkhorse Jalen Hurts. He probably won't start and might even redshirt this year, but he's one of the fastest kids on the team as is a QB. He is a Texas kid and was a coach's son so he is very smart football wise. He will be good.

Roll Tide!

don't count your chicks before they hatch, bud. Alabama has won enough, you can never live up to last years team, its all downhill for you now, WATCH GEORGIA!!

Not worried about Georgia one bit......lol

well,,,, you would have to kill usc. but, they had no offense,

may I remind you Alabama boys, chubb gained 222 yds rushing, I would say his knee is sound now, look at our schedule, we have 9-10 absolute wins, 2 maybes, I tossup, lucky for your tide you only have to play us once, YES, sec championship game. your tide will stop rolling then.

The typical USC moment yesterday was when they celebrate the interception, jumping into each other and all, when down 31-3.

We shut Chubb down last year and will this year too IF they even get by Florida. Nobody is going to run on Bama, nobody.

What pissed me off was dude stomping on Fitzpatrick's nuts after a kickoff. Glad the refs caught it and booted his ass. The pick 6 on the next play was instant KARMA.

HOLD UP I'M JUST GETTING BACK INTO THIS CONVO give me a few to read this

Alright here we go.

1. Miles is gone after this season.

2. We got Etling, who actually can do something, kid can read plays and isn't a moron like our past 4 QBs.

3. Toss up between Dixie and me in November JUST BECAUSE its in Tiger Stadium. We play in Bama then y'all cover the spread X2.

Binnie, Georgia showed who they were this weekend by barely beating Nicholls State. And we're supposed to be scared of them? HA!

Only two teams have a true shot at beating us this year, that is Ole Miss and LSU.

LaLou, what the hell has Miles been doing? Surely this ain't the first time this QB has went off like that. Instead he put all his chips into the Brandon Harris basket. Don't make sense.

Miles quit eating grass and started smoking it the day Mathieu enrolled at LSU. Been downhill ever since.

Ya'll gonna beat us from here on out and I'm the ONLY alumni that will admit that. 5 years going on now its "Hey Saban, we gonna run I formation and run right at you then try to pass in long situations, then punt, play defense, and try again with a magic spell. Shit time to punt again."

Hotty Toddy! Beat Bama!

Dixie, you act like Georgia has never beat you, the bulldogs have been waiting a long time to give you your come-uppance like I say the sec championship game is when the tide stops rolling.

LA Lou........ you better hope miles is gone, and you are lucky you don't play Georgia!!!

Well it's been almost 10 years since y'all last beat us, we monkey stomped y'all last year when you talked the same shit about how we couldn't stop Chubb yet he had to have a long run when we had 2nd teamers in there just to have decent numbers for the day. I hate to tell you but Eason nor Lambert is going to beat us because we all know Chubb ain't gonna go for 100 on us much less score enough to beat us. Each year all I hear is "how big and bad" Georgia is, yet they choke it up every year and when they think they are ready we stomp them 38-10 and it's like the UGA fans are stuck on repeat every damn year.

I hate to tell you this, but Georgia won't even make the SEC Championship this year. They won't beat Florida.

Why is that? I'd say you are lucky you don't play LSU or Bama this year. Easy schedule and you still won't make it to Atlanta. Florida is the team to beat in the East and y'all won't be able to stop Luke Del Rio.

I would not be surprised to see Georgia drop at least 2 of the next 3 games. After all, you should have lost to Nicholls State (who?) and only beat UNC by 9. Lots of big talk coming from a team that has beat a mediocre team and a FCS team by a combined 11 points. Yet Georgia is ready to give us our come-uppance???

Nicholls wants a rematch.

awwwwwwwwwwwwwww got me La Lou. lol,lol

lol,lol, Dixie, I tell you those bulldogs are due. we have been waiting, and waiting, and waiting, now with a new coaching staff. WE ARE GOING TO GET SERIOUS!!!

We play Georgia this year, who are now #16, a week after we play #1 Bama, which is 2 weeks after we played #4 Florida State in Florida(now ranked #2 in the nation) After that we play now #24 Arkansas, now #20 LSU, then #17 texas A&M. Add that to playing Auburn they should and will be ranked, Ole Miss has the toughest schedule in all of college football,we aren't backing down scheduling weak ass Pac 12 or Big Ten losers. We are stepping up no matter the outcome. And we're going to upset some of those teams so be ready.

true story, you beat Alabama last year, you come to play.
and you are capable of taking it all.

Georgia bulldogs are ready to put a hurt on Missouri, y'all heard it here first, GO DOGS.............................

Like I say, I would not be surprised if Missouri keeps it close with UGA

Tide's not looking good. Not sure if they're going to cover that 11.

'Bama pulled it off. They're not ranked #1 for nothing. They didn't cover, though.

well the Georgia bulldogs pulled it out over one of the best teams in the SEC. what a great QB- eason 29/55 308 yards, 3 tds, and the best receiver in the SEC McKenzie, 10 receptions 122 yds 2 tds, hes better than alabamas Amani cooper used to be, we fought back like bulldogs, which is what we are. just imagine if chubbs knees weren't bruised, we would have won by 20.what a team ! what character!! backs to the wall, and they come through!! undefeated, untied, DOGS !

Chad Kelly had 2 turnovers that got Bama 14 points, plus we scored 3 times and every replay they say we didn't score. Our RB was clearly was over the pylon. Not making excuses, it is what it is. We are finding our rhythm and have a great recruiting class. We maybe only will lose 1 more game this year at LSU. MAYBE! Jalen Hurts will be sore as fuck tomorrow Ill say that much.

Georgia is coming in next week, so look for two losses in a row, we will see then how good Kelly really is, with the bulldogs don't get overconfident.

That hit he took on the fumble return. My goodness. I saw that live and thought for sure he wasn't coming back into the game.

One of the best teams in the SEC? I told you before the game y'all would be lucky to win and sure enough y'all barely beat yet another mediocre team by a point.

Better than Amari Cooper? Refer to my comment above. You Georgia fans must love to drink because you definitely ain't seeing the truth. You will be brought back down to Earth next week if Chad Kelly doesn't choke again. You're going to learn just how far behind the East is of the West.

We have always been horrible against the spread. I would never bet on Bama against any line.

If anyone is going to beat us you better do it now because we are pretty young and will only get better. If Kiffin would wake up Hurts would have these kind of games stat wise every week with the 100+ passing and 100+ rushing.

And I better not hear Ole Miss whine about being screwed out of touchdowns, watch the one big pass where #17 Ingram held the guy in front of the ref then held his hands up like he didn't do anything and they let it go. Then lets not even mention the push off for a TD later on where the Ole Miss WR pushed the DB so hard his hands were fully extended only to come back and catch the ball for a touchdown and once again, right in front of the ref. They were absolutely horrible yesterday.

Ole Miss scored 3 times,3 replays the officails ruled for Bama. Fuck you and Bama. Ole Miss scares Bama and you know it. Just wait until we get rid of Chad Kelly aka Bo Wallace and we have Shea Patterson starting at QB.Roll Tears Roll just like the tears rolled in 2014 and 2015. Would've been 2016 too but yall paid the Refs off and barely won after that.

Beat Nicholls state in Georgia by 2 Points. ROFL!!!! Ole Miss gonna make you guys out to be the weak SEC East team yall are. I am so ready to make a fool out of the georgia puppy dogs. Overrated year after year.

crybabies, you cant take losing, your team is going nowhere this year,

Something we can agree on.

yes, we have fun kidding each other about football with our teams, its fun, we never get vulgar or resort to personal attacks never.! yates had no reason to use filthy language, it shows no-class.

Sorry Binnie, I didn't know you were so sensitive and feminized. Us Mississippians use vulgar language when we trash talk, it's part of the fun. If i had known you were so sensitive I wouldn't have talked that way. Thought you were masculine and could handle it but it's okay. You wanna squat to take a piss in the women's bathroom it's fine by me man. I won't use any more "vulgar" statements in my trash talk. Sorry for mistaking you as a man who could take it. That being said, Ole Miss is going to beat the "F" in dog "poop" out of Georgia's "Buttocks" Saturday. Is that better Hon? Wasn't too vulgar was it Sweetheart?

yates, let me tell you something. I'm an old man now, but in my younger days I would of taken care of you, you're a smart-ass punk and I
don't care to post with you. I know mississipians, and they are nothing like you. they have dignity.

Jerry Rice is from Mississippi, isn't he? He seems like a really nice guy. Could never picture him using foul language and insulting people. He probably had a good upbringing.

thank you oak, this guy has nothing to contribute to this site, to him its just a place to spew his anger, don't need him, need intelligent discourse.

And they don't cry about vulgar language. Did I hurt your feelings again darling?

Jerry Rice talked major shit in his NFL days. You guys ever do research or just spew about baseless assumptions you've been brainwashed with in your youth? I have more knowledge, more research, and more OC details than both of you guys combined. And I would agree with a debate of both of youse at the same time. You can even use google while I just use my notes. Everybody knows getting under the skin of your enemy or rival is one of the best tactics a person or athlete can use. From Jerry Rice to Muhammad Ali. And it's clear I am under your skin. Yates 1....Binnie "the feminized liberal and "Nowhere near as strong as " Oak Fan combined 0.

You have notes? Well, that's not fair.

I know. Sucks right? I have things I have worked hard to gain, but like I say you 2 can use Google which you don't have to work for and can access info from someone else hard work. Didn't want to take up the debate offer that I know more about OC than both of you combined? Didn't think so. But look, I will offer to leave out the files that Angela Clemente gave me and only go off of memory of those files in the debate. You girls game?

I had to google Angela Clemente.

I'm sure you did. Anybody that knows anything about the mob knows that Angela is one of the top Forensic documents investigators in the U.S. lauded for getting Greg Scarpa's informant files released via the FOIA. She is also not in good health and we should all pray for her. She has been instrumental in the public knowing the truth between FBI handlers and Top Echelon informers.

and let me tell you something, I am not a young man myself but I hate old crybabies like you. I am old but I am tough and I am very close to you in age, you and me come face to face I will drop you. My address is 229 CR 8311 Rienzi MS, I'M old too, come see me if you don't squat to piss your feminized Yankee, you have no balls if you don't. Pussy. On the flipside, give me your address and I will show up and drop your old ass.

Spoiler alert. Just google mapped County Road 8311 in Rienzi, Mississippi, and it doesn't exist.

Scared of Ole Miss? LMAO! You folks are clearly delusional. We just beat y'all with a team full of Freshmen (including a True Freshman at QB) and Sophomores on offense yet we're supposed to be scared of a high school QB? Patterson will get clowned just like Kelly did. We lose 10 players next year and that includes snappers, kickers/punters, offense and defense altogether. We're not worried about you or that gimmick offense.

You better be more worried about the NCAA and all that money being passed in Oxford. Kind of like when Laremy Tunsil had never visited Oxford yet commits? Now that's funny. Don't even get me started on the fake ACT's the players took as well. Once y'all get nailed Freeze will be on the first train out of Oxford, you can bet that. Meanwhile we'll just keep on winning SEC and National Titles. Y'all wouldn't know much about that would you?

And barely won? You do realize we had 2nd and 3rd stringers in on defense on BOTH of your 2 last scores. Don't believe me? Go watch the end of the game again. Shyheim Carter (True Freshman and non starter), Hootie Jones (Junior and non starter), Deionte Thompson (True Freshman and non starter), Dakota Ball (RS-Senior DL who played TE last year and non starter), Christian Miller (RS-Sophomore and non starter), Jamey Mosley (RS-Sophomore and non starer). Not to mention when it was 48-30, this TD was given up when Stringfellow pushed Averett into the back of the endzone so he could have enough room to catch that TD pass. That's pass interference in any game but that one, yet you want to whine about how the refs were paid off by Bama? Yea sure, keep telling yourself that.

Don't get me started on reviews either. Y'all had one where our QB was hit illegally (helmet to helmet by #10 to Jalen Hurts which caused the fumble) then the cheap shot by #9 which should have negated the TD on the return as well. How quick we are to forget that eh? The refs even said the cheap shot was "after the whistle" when it actually happened while #38 was still on the 10 freaking yard line not after the play like was called. The SEC office claimed it was a helmet to the chest by #10 on the hit on Hurts, but go back and look at it, the crown of the helmet hit Hurts in his helmet. Last I checked that's illegal. Another missed call that favored Ole Miss. Once again a gift to Ole Miss.

Then the big pass play when it was 27-24 Bama, #17 Ingram held and even had a takedown right in front of the ref that was NOT called to allow Kelly to even get the pass off. Then on the replay (that once again you claim you were screwed on) the WR's HAND and KNEE was down BEFORE the ball crossed the goalline. Everywhere college football is played, that is not a TD. And as I noted above, Ingram held #56 Tim Williams on the play. I can provide you a nice screen shot on that one as well but I'd be wasting my time as you would claim it was no hold.

Then on 3rd and Goal when it was still 27-24 Bama, Kelly scrambles and fumbles and a TD was called. Well once again you cry that you crybabies were screwed yet again, but Kelly was CLEARLY down on his back when he fumbled forward. Once again a plain as day rule was clearly showed on replay. It wasn't even close as Kelly was laying on his back when the ball popped out, even his damn helmet had done hit the ground. Where I come from you can't fumble a ball forward while laying on your back.

Then the replay on the Hurts fumble and #15 recovered, once again his butt and elbow was down before that fumble and it was called the right way again.

So once again, tell me how y'all were cheated so bad by the "Bama paid refs"??? Oh yea I forgot, you had to have someone to blame so instead of blaming yourselves you blame the refs to make yourself feel better. Get the hell out of here with that crybaby bullshit. And yet you wonder why Ole Miss is irrelevant in college football and the SEC.....

So take off your tinfoil suit and realize nobody is out to get you, nobody is envy of you, you have nothing any other SEC school would want. You are just crying to cry, and since you wanted to cry I went ahead and just called you out on your whiny bluff. The game is on youtube, go ahead and check it out and tell me where I'm wrong????

Ole Siss, the SEC's step sister that cries after every loss.

Ole Miss came through today. It's a party in Rienzi! Not that anyone here would know...

ill take you up on that punk, I live in coeur d,alene Idaho, you come here, drop me? you moron, you are delusional.
come ahead freako, ill be waiting.

good post, Dixie, there is something wrong with this guy, I don't want to get banned so I'm done posting with him.
anyway great post you told it like it is.

not surprising, why would anyone give out their st.address on a site like this? its all B,S, glad you pointed that out oak.
thank you.

Yeah, no wonder he despises using google as a research tool. It's how people figure him out.

Really? Rienzi MS does exist. It is my Post office zip code at 38865. My hometown of Jumpertown MS doesn't have a Post Office so we use Rienzi's Post office instead of nearby Booneville MS which is 38829. Thats how stupid and uniformed you guys are. You don't know shit. God Damn brainwashed urban liberals.Wouldn't recognize a County Road address if it was stuck up you're prostitute mothers puss. What about them Georgia Puppy Bitch Dogs? got the "poop" kick out of their "A". That PC enough Bennie the feminized Liberal?

Wah Wah, my QB was hit ilegally. Yall are fucked now with all your injuries, Plus kiffin fucked Sabans daughter and now yall are fucked. Know how to circumcise a boy from Alabama? Kick his sister in the mouth. Roll tears r0ll

Uh huh...

not surprising, why would anyone give out their st.address on a site like this? its all B,S, glad you pointed that out oak.
thank you. [/quote
Because Im not a sissy liberal hiding behing my computer. You show up on my property in a threatening manner i will drop you before you take a step. My post office if Rienzi, my location is Jumpertown MS. My Family owns this whole road, show up with a gun Ill shoot you, show up and request a fight one on one my family will not interfere. So show up fa***t. Put your money where your mouth is. I gave my address. You 2 guys show who the pussy is by not giving yours. White house on CR 8311 in j TOWN MS. YEAH Im crazy by giving my address cause I don't give a fuck. Come See me or put your tail between your legs and play GTA 5 you fa***ts.

You're address is Coeur d'alene Idaho. That narrows it down you yellow bastard,Isn't that where all the pedophiles like Joseph Duncan the 3rd lives? Go jerk off to JonBenet's autopsy photos you sicko pederast fuck.

Yea that's what I thought, you can't handle the FACTS so you cry about something else. That's all you've done since you started posting in this thread.

And what injuries are you talking about? Only one that missed time was Damien Harris and he only has an ankle sprain and is day to day. We ain't going anywhere and you only wished we were "hurt"

As for your tough man bit, well the guys already called your pansy ass out. They called you out and you've done nothing but run.

As for talking about Alabama, well we thank God everyday for Mississippi because you clowns are dead last in about every single ranking in education and everything else so I wouldn't be talking about Alabama too much. Now you beat a sub-par Georgia team and you're here beating your chest like you clowns are back. Y'all can't handle success (you proved that last year), and you can't take facts (you proved that in this thread). So just go cry me a river somewhere else, because we could care less about "how y'all were screwed" You had a chance to win the SEC West twice now and y'all choked on your sister's junk

But at least we had Archie Manning!

Dixie, how does this sicko stay on this site?? good post dix, truthful in all manner.

Google street view goes from 224 to 247. No 229 on county road 8311. I see there's a pond across the street. Is that where you live?

I'm not even going to bother with him anymore. Just let him talk to himself.

Oakland even called him out when his address didn't show up on Google. Big tough guy he is

Well LaLou, y'all got your wish. Les Miles was just fired...

nice one, oak, lol

yeah, I'm not going to answer the guy anymore either, would like to ask LaLou what happened when they didn't get that TD.
nice to get back to football, about Georgia, well, maybe next year, lol.

Come find out!. Ill throw you in that pond I promise you. Google street views? Get the fuck outta here. Ain't but 2 white houses on that street. knock on the door of just one you scared little bitch.

Yeah except 2 days ago he claimed that road didn't exist in Rienzi which it doesn't. Funny thing. I gave you my real address but you never followed up with yours in Pedophile O Lane Idaho. Why is that? Scared? Feminized? Squat to Piss? Ill choose option D. All of the Above. Telephone/Internet tough guy. Hide behind a computer but face to face you will shit your pants before you defend yourself or your boyfriend. You'll let somebody slap your mom in the face before you will so much as ball a fist. I am happy Mississippi is last in the nation in everything. I don't want to be first in anything that the U.S. has become. So go use the women's bathroom you Liberal Douche #LGTB rights!

Bama is the best team money can buy I will agree. Last 2 years we whipped their ass, not as bad as Ohio State did and their #1 team barely beat a #19 by 5 points and had to have the refs help. Congrats. Now please Alabamians go to the dentist and quit fucking your sisters. And maybe Kiffin will stop banging Saban's daughter. Roll Tears. Why was Saban unsuccessful in the NFL?? Because he couldn't pay off high school players and stack the deck in his favor. #NFL Failure. Saban operated on a level playing field in the NFL and he was decimated, so his balls shrunk up and he retreated to College Ball where he could buy talent and give himself a considerable advantage.

How many frequent flyer miles would it take to fly to Mississippi, and meet someone at an address near the non existent 229 County Road 8311, who's never heard of gangsterbb.net?

Answer??? Zero dollars if you're too scared to show up, give me your address Ill show up and whip your ass at no charge (besides your hospital bill) It's funny. I type in 229 CR 8311 Jumpertown MS and I see Google Maps is off a little. Move about 5 houses to the left and there I am, but you cowards do it and its a non existent address. Ill do you fags a favor. Ill take a pic exactly in front of the house with a longitude and latitude reading. Then what will you Hillary loving liberals say? Oh Longitude and Latitude Coordinates are not factual or scientifically relevant due to the Earth's gravitational pull due to the effects of climate change. Or will you tell the truth and admit I told my real addy and you didn't come see me and failed to give your real addy because I might come over there and try ro kick your ass while you're hiding behind your mom's skirt?

Latitude Longitude Coordinates....(34.715247, -88.655324) Make another excuse you cowards. Excuses are like assholes. Every liberal has one that is stretched out.

Those people with non existent addresses are always the toughest on the internet.

Always. He can't handle real talk about football so he resorts to insults because that's all he has. That great 6th grade education in Mississippi is really showing huh?

Like Binnie said, back to football and to hell with Mr. Golden Gloves talking out his ass.

I just wonder who LSU is going to get? To me, they would have been better off letting him finish the year because this will kill recruiting for them. We'll definitely invade Louisiana now looking for recruits as will every other SEC team. LaLou, what are the rumors down there in who y'all will go after? One thing we learned after running Coach Stallings off, you run off a winner you damn sure better have another one waiting for that job. Otherwise you'll end up with Gerry DiNardo and another disaster, like we did with DuBose and Shula.

LSU has a lot of talent, I do think they got a bad break, when they didn't get that td against auburn, they were the better team.

I look for their new coach to be from the SEC. and I think they will be better without miles. but, look at Georgia I fully expected a much better team with mark richt gone, but, I guess its too early, a new coach can only do so much. and yes, back to football.

The pride of Latitude Longitude Coordinates....(34.715247, -88.655324)!!!

Like I say, we learned this lesson the hard way. Sometimes firing the coach doesn't mean things will be all nice and gravy no matter how high profile the coach is. DuBose was a hot assistant that couldn't leave his secretaries alone, then we hire Mike Price who couldn't stay out of the trashiest strip club in Pensacola while using the University credit card and never coached a game and he was a well established coach from Washington State. Mike Shula had bloodlines plus he was a player at Bama and he busted out even though he had one good 10 win season.

What LSU and most people don't realize is Les Miles has the highest win percentage of ANY COACH in LSU history, even better than Nick Saban and that says something. I mean what more do they want? It's going to be hard to beat Bama every single year. Auburn will tell you that. Florida will tell you that. They HAVE to get a homerun hire or firing Miles was worthless and a waste of time.

funny you would mention price, I'm up here close to wash, st, and that's the local pac 12 team, price was probably the best coach they ever had. hadn't been to a rose bowl in 60 some years, and he took them to 2. always meant to ask you what happened to price and Alabama, Alabama never gave him a shot, why hire the boy if you won't let him coach? and, did he get a payoff when he was fired? about miles, he shared a national title with usc, and faced off with you in the title game, they beat you to get there, and you creamed them in the rematch for all the marbles. they blamed miles for that, and it stuck in their craw, they never got over that one.

Mike Price was down in Pensacola Florida for some golf pro-am I think it was, and he ended up hiring a few strippers for the night (and should I say ugly ones at that) from a club called "Aretys Angels". He proceeded to have a good time all the while this was all being charged on a University of Alabama credit card. The Board and Boosters were not happy and fired him for cause.

Here is the link Binnie that will explain everything:

http://www.si.com/vault/2003/05/12/342806/how-he-met-his-destiny-at-a-strip-club-mike-price-fired

wow, yeah the guy had to go, sounds like he just came undone, blew a great coaching opportunity.... it was all on him.

Dixie, OMG.... I just typed to you about our great victory over tennesse, with 19 sec left and I was smiling...... well I could not believe what happened, tennesse wins with 4 seconds left. they stole it!!

Nobody has come to see me yet. I'm shocked. I give you guys my exact coordinates on this planet and all I hear is a"crickets". Not one of you guys have a quarter of the balls I have. Won't even give a general region of your wherabouts. I get your sister's and moms take up for you don't they sweetheart?

Sec east is weàker than AAC. Conference. Holy shit! SEC easr powerhouse tenn. Barely beats Georgia with a hail mary. Shit. Ole miss slaughtered uga.

I thought it was over too, but once they got the penalty and the short kickoff, I knew then they might have screwed up. Even after that y'all had about 4 guys around the WR there and nobody tried to even knock that ball down. Crazy.

yes, I know what you are thinking, same as me, it never should have happened, put 2 men in front of the goal line, and 2 in back, don't give the QB that much time to set up at least put a halfway decent pass- rush on the guy, we have a good kid at QB [Jacob eason] a freshman, and some good recievers, now if the coaches would get their heads out of their butts we might salvage the season.

Georgia Sucks. Weak. Had Tennesee on the ropes and blew it. Losers. Top 3 teams in the SEC East are Tennesee, Florida, and Georgia. It's an absolute embarassment to the SEC. Florida barely beats Vandy. Kentucky is slaughtered by Bama. Georgia is barely beaten by UT on a last minute Hail Mary, yet Ole Miss slaughtered the puppy dogs. The worse team in the SEC West would challenge the best team in the SEC east all day. I just wish Ole Miss played UT like they did a couple years ago. Ole Miss beat the shit out of UT. Almost as bad as they did UGA this year.

That throw Eason made to Ridley (did you know he was our Calvin Ridley's brother?) was a NFL throw period. That was an absolute cannon.

I would have rather seen one of those guys even hold or throw the WR down and get a flag than to let him catch it like that. You just cannot give that up.

good point about a flag, very good point, you are talking about winning a game, and go ahead and hold the receiver a bit, draw the flag, and you got them down to 1 sec, then send some D.E.s to put a rush on him, it came down to coaching, and we were found lacking,

Yep at worst you give them 15 yards and they either try a field goal (a long one) or throw again for the endzone depending on the score, but at least you don't give up 6 and the game.

yes, while talking to friend of mine over coffee this morning we were discussing alabamas win over Clemson in the national championship game. I made the comment that the punt return TD by the tide was the clincher, and the punt return against mississipi was a game changer. also the blocking on those runbacks opened up the lanes and the returners were gone. not much has been said about your special teams coaches,but they got it together.

Yeah , what a cannon. Almost as good as the touchdown pass he threw to Derrick Jones in the Ole Miss game. Oh, wait. Jones plays at Ole Miss. Wide Receiver last year and recently converted to DB due to our injuries at DB. WOW! what an arm.

Oddly enough Bobby Williams was under fire here because a few years ago our special teams were a disaster. Now we're pretty good there minus field goals. Williams has been with Coach Saban for a while, matter of fact he took over Michigan State when Saban left for LSU and then came back to him under the Dolphins or Bama I forget. He changed something, that's for sure.

congrats Dixie on another great win, 18 straight now, Fitzpatrick 3 picks, looks like defense is jelled. the dogs game was called off due to the hurricane. hopefully we can get back on track next week.

Im all over your cock dixie, says Binnie, sucking the head, stroking the shaft, licking your scrotum, cause Ive got no scrotum of my own. Oh and you're dick is crimson tide red because Im jerking that tiny shaft as hard as I can with little to no friction or viscosity. Ole Miss gonna win out you fa***t feminized sorry excuse for men.Allow men to use the same bathroom as your daughters you coward fucks, just because they identify as women. Ha. Binnie is the laughing stock of the South. Talked so much shit, but when Ole Miss spanked Georgia's little puppy dawg asss guess what we hear in Oxford....Guess???????Crickets!!!!Nothing on OleMiss beating that ass. Oh, and I know people from Georgia are dyslexic, but it it "gelled" not jelled you ignorant fuck. Might sound like a j to you rednecks, but to us educated Mississippians we know how to spell the words gel and how an offense gelled. Stupid fucking redneck.

(Added by SC): I think there is some real love going on here. yates is definitely hot for Binnie. yates can think all kinds of romantic stuff for a month while he is on a well-earned vacation.

Sorry for the late reply, just got back from Hurricane Matthew restoration in Florida. We didn't get to catch the whole game as 16-18 hour days will do that, but yes the defense is in high gear at this point. It's almost expected for us to score on defense now.

Can't wait to put it to Tennessee this week. UT is easily our 2nd biggest rival to Auburn. Always love the 3rd Saturday in October.

thank you s.c the guy is a real jerk, I and others could not even post on this site, because of his replies. thank you for making this a good thread again.

yes, the tide and tennessee should be a great game, we got Vanderbilt at home, should win that one, then florida, hopefully we can win that one too.

Amen. That crap was getting old.

Glad to see my Cougars pull out a win in double overtime over Mississippi St. Yeah, it was a tough win over an SEC team but you still don't rush the field after beating a 2-4 opponent.

Yep Mississippi State is not good at all this year. After all, South Alabama beat them. They are maybe the 5th best team in Alabama?

Binnie what happened to Georgia today? Vandy???

Looks like I missed all the fun.

What was with Tennessee? I figured Alabama would beat them by 17, but that was brutal. Hurts really shined in that game, and a 2nd stringer no less.

good god, I don't know can't even beat Vanderbilt at home 4-3 now. GIVE ME MARK RICHT BACK!!!
GREAT WIN FOR YOU TODAY....... 19 IN A ROW GG TIDE.

They wouldn't have scored if Kiffin wouldn't have gotten cute and wanted to throw the ball around.

Dixie, watched all of texas a@m, Alabama. 20 in a row now,
allen with a fumble recovery for a td, hurts 91 yds rushing, you looked great, and remember hurts overthrew ridley twice.
congrats don't know who can beat you, maybe ohio st. the dogs have florida the 29th they need that win. they still can beat them in florida.

Ohio State is out for now. That was a very ugly loss to Pedophile State.

We had tickets yesterday and I decided to take my Niece since she couldn't find anyone to go with her and at 17 she is still too young to go alone, so I took her around and showed her some stuff she didn't see when she was younger and they had season tickets. I've been to some big games at Bryant Denny Stadium before, the 2010 Iron Bowl was rocking when we dominated $cam Newton in the first half (of course that changed in the 2nd) and the 03 (I think it was 03) Oklahoma game was probably the loudest game I ever been to, and we lost 20-13 near the end. Well when Jonathan Allen returned that fumble, that was the absolute loudest I've ever heard Bryant Denny. It was louder than when we stopped John David Booty at goal line to beat LSU, and I wasn't the only one there that thought it either.

Now on to LSU and Leonard Fournette who torched Ole Sissy last night. I bet our buddy is on suicide watch today.....lmao

yeah, I wish they would ban the sicko for life, about hurts overthrowing ridley, they better start connecting. the dogs should be fit and ready for the gators, its going to be a great win for us. you get by lsu, and auburn you run the table. looking for a great game on nov5 tide vs lsu. I really don't think saban will let lsu come close, I see a big win for you.

well Georgia disappointed again, wasn't even a good game vs florida, dogs defense isn't even in the race, offense has great qb but, no one can catch the ball, this year is beginning to be a nightmare, oh, well next sat, LSU VS ALABAMA, cant wait for that one.

Sometimes it's not best to change coaches. Maybe Kirby turns it around but I'm not rooting for him after what he did to us over the Maurice Smith situation. He refused a few transfers to go to Miami to follow Richt then Smith wanted to follow Kirby to Georgia and Saban said no. Well Kirby and Smith went to the media until the pressure built and Saban finally let him go to Georgia. After that I knew Kirby was a hypocrite. Many thought he would be the next Bama coach after Saban but I seriously doubt it now at this point, but I wouldn't/don't blame Kirby for taking the job at Georgia as that was/is his dream job. I was never mad he left but I can't root for him at this point.

I think Georgia deserves better than Kirby, and I'm looking forward to see if the tide can handle fournette as good as they did last year. should be a great game Saturday.

Yep LSU is getting like Auburn, no matter their record they will step it up against Bama. I would be surprised to see a blowout either way. Hopefully we can stop Fournette like last year. If he goes for 150-200 we are in trouble unless that is all of their offense period. We still have some big boys to play the run so it will be interesting. I'm interested in seeing our defense without Eddie Jackson, that will be telling if we can win it all again if they step it up on the backside of that defense. Rumors are swirling that Minkah Fitpatrick (the young but great DB) has moved to FS to take over Eddie's spot, but I doubt we see him there this week since LSU is a power run team, so I would expect Hootie Jones to be starting in Baton Rouge this weekend since he is a bigger kid and Minkah can stay at DB is a doubt we have to play a lot of nickel defense this weekend. Maybe once we play Auburn we will see Fitzy at FS with Tony Brown moving into his spot at DB. It would make us FASTER on defense for sure.

As for Kirby I hate it too, I was rooting for him to face us in Atlanta until he pulled that stunt. I could understand if he let the Georgia kids follow Richt to Miami as they wouldn't have played Miami at all, but to stop them then try to sell Saban out for not letting Smith follow Kirby to Georgia just told me what kind of person he really is. I like our defense better under Pruitt, but I was one of those that would have been happy to see Kirby take over for Saban once he retires which will happen in 5-7 years I'm thinking as he just turned 65. But not anymore.

Do y'all play this week by the way?

You are forgetting Danny Etling Dix. He is not that great, but he is good enough to give Alabama a run for their money. LSU has an impressive combinations of schemes going for them this year. I have to say even though Alabama is favored, I have to go with LSU this year. Yeah I know it is 5 and 0 for Alabama in the past 6 years, but man, LSU is more pumped up then I have seen them in a long time. Odds are on Alabama side, but when factoring many things, LSU is a safe bet for me.

LSU might be pumped up, but rah rah'ing only gets you so far. Danny Etling has not faced a defense like he will face Saturday night. The D-Line is going to keep him on his back and we will see if he can throw under pressure or if he breaks or not.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Roll Tide!

good win for you Dixie, who would think hurts would run like that, and again you made fournette look like a bum, 21 in a row now, well, we barely beat Kentucky, so maybe we can win 8 games this year, looking to next year now. again good win for you, lsu played tough, but you are better, and did you see what ohio st, did to Nebraska.

No offense to Ohio State, but I thought Nebraska was last year's Iowa. Highly overrated with a weak schedule.

Hurts actually had just 149 less yards rushing than Fournette had on the season even though he had one more game than Fournette. He has been a true dual threat for us all year. He is still struggling throwing the ball, but for a true freshman he has a set of iron balls. You could see that after he threw the pick on the first drive. What pissed me off last night was Kiffin's play calling. Once again he was passing when he should of ran and ran when he should have been passing. I have totally given up on Adam Griffith, he just flat out sucks as kicker. They showed they have had enough last night after we went for it on 4th and goal until Kiffin tries a read option against a goalline defense. Idiotic.

But a win is a win. I will be the biggest Georgia fan in the world next weekend as we REALLY need Georgia to beat Auburn as that would clinch the West for us if we beat Mississippi State.

He has now passed for 1,685 yards and rushed for 635. Not bad for a true freshman. The future is bright on offense, and ALL of our running backs are coming back next year! Bo Scarbrough was a MAN last night!!

yes, you seem solid, keep wondering why hurts, and ridley can't connect, it would be a big weapon for you once you make the 4 game playoff. your defense is awesome, and your special teams is the best in the sec, right now looks like you are on track to run the table, and make it 5 for saban. yes, I'm screaming for my dogs to get it together to trounce auburn Saturday, its a national tv game, and god knows we are due to kick ass.

well Dixie we did it for you, even though the refs were homers, should have got an interference call, in the 2nd half, but refs denied it. now you win the west, congrats pal, you deserve it. now the dogs needed that win although we didn't have an offensive td. our defense came through, THERE IS A FUTURE FOR THE GEORGIA BULLDOGS. nice win over miss,st, hurts can pass!! auburn hasn't got a chance against you in the ironbowl.

If that Hurts shows up nobody comes close to beating us.

It was all those Bama fans rooting for y'all that put you over the top! It's always a good day when auBARN loses, but when it gives us the West it makes it even sweeter!

And that missed pass interference in the 1st half when the auBARN DB pulled down Ridley was absolutely one of the worst no calls I've ever seen! That was horrible

Shea Patterson is a stud, been yelling to start him all year. Kid took a while to get going but when he did he beat a Top 10 team. Hotty Toddy. Shea Patterson era has arrived. Look out SEC.

He did look good, but it was an A&M defense. Ole Miss should win out though with who you got left.

CJ what happened to Ole Miss?? Lost by 21 to Vandy? Man y'all really cashed it in or is it the NCAA stuff?

well the Georgia bulldogs after they beat Georgia tech Saturday, will finish 8-4 but showing promise for next year, hopefully we play the tide in the sec championship game next year, congrats to you Dixie, after you take care of auburn, and another sec title, I don't see anyone beating you this year, saban gets his 6th. but, next year could be tough for you. my dogs will come alive. YOUR REIGN OF TERROR ON THE S.E.C. WILL BE OVER IN 2017. GO DOGS!!!

We lose some of our strength on the D-line, but our DB's are mainly all coming back, most of our offense will be back, and we return our QB, all 3 RB's, and have one of the best O-Line recruits coming in during this signing period.

We'll be ready, we ain't going anywhere any time soon.

well, good win against auburn dix, liked hurts, scarbrough. stewart had a great game for you, congrats to you going into the sec championship game, you're a lock to win it. my Georgia bulldogs blew another one to Georgia tech, Christ!! when will they start to compete in the sec!! we need defensive help bad!!

I know we played piss poor in the 1st half and then settled into things. Now onto Florida next week!

florida can't even beat florida st. you will cream them. don't know who has a shot against you, if Washington gets in the final four and is paired against you, that could be your toughest game of the year. would be a good one. impossible to bet against the tide!!

well, dix, 25 in a row, it's has to be saban 's best team, i'll take hurts over McCarran, florida -16 rushing, here's is the way I saw the game. I call it a screen pass to ridley, great blocking, td pass from hurts to a transfer from bowling green?????? where did he come from? what a backfield. josh Jacob. d harris, scarbourgh. o,j, howard, stewart, ridley, good god man!!!! a third stringer blocks a punt, then scores a td, third stringer!! hurts a freshman, harris a sophomore. my poor Georgia bulldogs. BREAK UP THE CRIMSON TIDE!!!


ps. Washington MIGHT give you a good game. again dix congrats.

Washington doesn't scare me one bit. They are undersized and have no depth. It might would be close for a half then we pull away.

As for the screens and freaking jet sweeps, I'm so sick of Kiffin and that bullshit. I really hope Houston hires him as head coach or he really does go to LSU as OC. They can have him! I'd much rather have Sarkisian as our OC anyways.

Ohio State is the only team in the country that could play with Alabama this season...and they have 44 freshman on the team

yeah, sc got rid of him for a reason. and how many times have I said that the tide has an excellent special teams coach, and every game they come through... and don't forget the defensive, especially the DB'S 4 picks vs florida, Jackson returning one, kiffin is NOT the only assistant coach.

yes, but they didn't win the championship, and 44 freshman, WOW, urban meyer is going to be hard to deal with next year.

Only 10 more than Bama.

But I agree.

good bet would be a rematch of last year, Alabama vs Clemson.

i like Ohio State playing strong and beating Clemson convincingly...To beat Bama, OSU's execution has to be perfect

I don't think ohio st, can beat Clemson.

i guess we'll see soon enough, should be exciting. keep in mind osu beat four top 10 teams, two of them on the road. i'd put my money on meyer before sweeney

I definitely think Ohio State can beat Clemson (and us). Clemson is NOT the team they were last year. Just watch them struggle against teams like Auburn.

But I agree dino, I know I'm biased of course but I have learned what beats Bama lately and that's the biggest factor. No turnovers and a top game from the opponents QB. Both those teams can do that though, so either are a threat IMHO. I still like our chances of course.

Ohio State fans (not talking about the sane ones) think they will be able to rip Bama apart like they did in the 1st playoff but our defense is WAY different than it was back then. Kirby Smart is gone which was the main reason we struggled against no huddle teams, and add to that we were "bigger across the board" personnel wise. We played 260lbs LB's back then and 230lbs safeties and that was the main struggle against no huddle teams. Yes we were just as fast with those guys, but they fell off quicker compared to leaner guys like we have now. Now we have CB's playing S and LB's that are 230lbs and we play more people compared to then.

I think this could be the best playoff so far I think and I think the committee made the right decision with this 4 and their ranking. Pedophile State had no shot and shouldn't have with 2 losses. If OSU had 2 losses as well then I would agree they should have jumped OSU, but no matter what when all the teams have no losses or 1 loss, you can't say a 2 loss team deserves to jump them even if that team beat them.

i love discussing college football with you dixie. i agree wholeheartedly. bama is the team to beat, no ifs andds or buts about it. my buckeyes are very green as we lost 12 to the nfl last year, so our team is a completely different animal thatn it was the last two years. that team that beat bama convincingly had about 10 guys who went in the first 3 rounds of the 2015 nfl draft.

Same here man. It's hard to find anyone to talk football with anymore without opposing fans mud slinging if you know what I mean. I just don't care for all of that and would rather talk football.

Penn State should have made the Final Four.

as a BUCKEYE fan, I could certainly understand your position. Penn State won the head-to-head battle and there is no denying that, albeit a fluke, yet I give them credit. The fact of the matter is that Ohio State beat four top 10 teams, two of them on the road, with 44 freshman on the team. How do you explain Penn State jumping ahead of Michigan when Michigan destroyed them?

Ohio State lost via blocked kick on the road to the No. 5 team in the country. but Penn State still lost twice, to the No. 6 team in the country (a team Ohio State beat) and to Pitt.

The Buckeyes played Oklahoma in non-conference play and stomped the Sooners in Norman. The Nittany Lions played Pitt and lost via last-second interception. (At the time, we thought that result was important because of how it pertained to Franklin’s employment prospects. It ended up deciding a Playoff spot.)

Ohio State is second in both the AP and coaches polls; Penn State is fifth in both.

The Buckeyes are third in S&P+, second in Sagarin, and ahead of the Nittany Lions in nearly every other computer ranking.

Scoring margin against six common opponents: Ohio State plus-149, Penn State plus-78.

That’s why Ohio State is in the Playoff and Penn State is not.

Agree with dino on this, Pedophile State did NOT deserve to be in. The major point being they had 2 losses, with one being to a not so great team in Pitt. IF they had only one loss, I could understand it. But with 2 losses, they have NO argument what-so-ever. The playoffs were not guaranteed to take the top 4 conference champs as every year the top 4 might not have a conference champ just like this year. Just like the BCS proved in the Bama/LSU rematch, you don't have to be a conference champ.

As much as I hate to say it, Michigan was more deserving as a two loss team than PSU for a 4th slot...I think Michigan is actually a much more solid and well coached team than Washington.

And USC has been one of the most dominant teams in the country after a few early slip ups. They have more 4/5 star talent on that roster than PSU had had in 5. years according to Scout.

I see the playoffs this way, Clemson over ohio st.

crimson tide over Washington, [ although COULD be a big upset]

to me looks like Alabama vs Clemson again,

Alabama broke Clemson last year with that punt runback.

alabamas special teams rose to the occasion last year.

Clemson will give them all they want, but, national champs, again ALABAMA...................

by the way dino, you got by Michigan by the skin of your teeth. you were lucky, and Clemson will beat you.

I guess we''ll see at the end of the month. Regardless if OSU got by Michigan, they're 13-2 in the last 15 years. And the fact is, Ohio State is built and has been built for the long term and Clemson doesn't even hold a candle to the recruiting that urban Meyer does. Clemson's talent isn't even close from a roster standpoint and they are not built for the long term. But I guess we'll see soon enough. How many top 10 teams does Clemson play in a WEAK ACC? How many good nonconference programs do they play outside of their shitty conference ?

Looks like Kiffin is gone, rumors are this morning Houston did hire him as head coach but he has said he wanted to stay through the playoffs with Bama. We also lost our 2nd scholarship QB this week, but both are expected to stay on as well. Good thing we have a 5-star and a 4-star QB coming in this month!

lane kiffin is average at best as a head coach. hes proven that with his tenures at USC and Tenn. i'll give him a pass with the raiders as al davis was no picnic to work for. kiffin is a great coordinator like his father was, houston could have him. sarkisian on his drunkest day was easily a better coach than kiffin. although i'd love to mucn kiffin's wife's box

just from a sec fan, kiffin got way to much credit for Alabama's success, alabams's special team coach, and their defensive back's coach, are the best in college football. but you never hear of them.

Well Kiffin and his wife are actually divorced, so you might have a chance....haha (well I think it hasn't totally went through but they have filed)

As for our coaching staff I agree Sark was the "real" brilliant mind behind the USC machine in the early 2000's without a doubt. Had he not been partying he is still coaching USC.

Binnie our DB's coach is Derrick Ansley, it is his first year here but Coach Saban has been the bonafide DB coach since he came here. As for our special teams coach, he is famed RB coach Burton Burns as you can imagine is well liked here. This is his first year coaching special teams as Bobby Williams (ex-Michigan State coach and assistant under Saban there) moved to an off the field job this year.

I firmly believe from a friend of mine who is close to the program that Lane & Sark in their early days partied and fucked like two frat boys. Who knows, but rumor had it that the wives were relieved when Sark went to Washington, having some distance between the two. I do believe Kiffin has been humbled and learned how to be a better coach and manager of staff and players. Kiffin won't have the insurmountable pressure of making the playoff and competing for a title year in and year out, it's the best job in college football. compete for a conference championship in a mid major conference, beat the occasional power five program and you have job security for a decade at least. Kiffin may have found
a place to be revered at Houston. with sark, he's only a year removed from alcoholic breakdowns and calling games shit faced. If Saban promotes him to OC, it means Saban believes he's making progress in his recovery from a severe drinking problem...but it's also much more pressure for somebody trying to repair his broken personal life with the kids, wife and family. The timing might not be right for Sark. hes a brilliant offensive coach and a hell of a recruiter. But with his infamous public drunkenness out there on line and on every social media outlet, i couldn't imagine him going into the family room of an inner city family and selling himself as a role model. CFB coaches are charismatic and pragmatic when selling themselves to the parents of recruits. If I were recruiting against Sark, I'd show every family a DVD of his drunken escapades and locker room antics. I think he could stay with Saban as long as Saban stays coaching, it could be enough time where the public will forgive him and he'll be a head coach.

taggart was a great hire at Oregon, rhule was a great hire at baylor, reports out of Columbus is that luke fickell may be headed there who I'm not sold on as a HC, I still can't believe Greg Schiano hasn't been aggressively pursued, I like les miles to purdue it's a good fit for him, no pressure and Indiana is open. lincoln riley will be a star when he gets a chance. lots of names out there. Charlie strong would also be ideal at cinch, he recruited that area well while 45 mins down the road at Louisville, it would be a new backyard brawl between he and petrino

oh yeah, i completely forgot about kiffin's divorce, I remember hearing about it. I wonder what went down???

Not sure but it's been tight lipped about the divorce. She has been spotted at games though with the kids so who knows.

Looks like the reports were wrong as Houston hired Major Applewhite. Looks like Strong will land at South Florida. I'm also surprised Schiano hasn't landed somewhere either, he proved at Rutgers he was a good coach and many think because he failed with the Bucs he sucks and that ain't the case.

Schiano is a great coach, but I've also heard from credible sources that he's a fucking tyrant. i know belichick loves him. He'd be great at Cincy or Purdue

Yea but they seemed to like him at Rutgers though so who knows. Of course I think him going to the NFL was dumb, he's like Saban in that he just ain't cut out for the NFL and nothing wrong with that. It ain't for every coach.

charlie strong to USF??????? what the fuck is that? with the buyout he has from texas, i can't even believe he wanted that job. i am shocked that cincinnati didn't peak his interest most due to his great recruiting in that area while louisville head coach. or sit out a year and collect the $10.7 million owed to him by texas.

He still collects off Texas no matter what. Plus in most of those high buyouts they require you to get a job or at least look for work. I think his salary owed from Texas is deducted and the rest is paid by Texas. Good move for him as he has always recruited Florida very hard as a DC and HC at Louisville. That move keeps him in familiar territory. Looks like Kiffin either goes to FAU or LSU at this point. Many here are saying he is gone for sure no matter what jobs are offered. Many here also are saying Sark is gone too and he won't get the OC job so who knows.

UF grad/fan....UF DC just signed up with Temple, big loss for Gators and their huge drop to mediocre under coach mac, cannot wait for the 5-5 gators next year and UF goes and gets chip kelley, long year watching the crap UF puts out there

Clemson is lucky to be in Final 4 and probably OSU too, but Penn St is not in the class either, SC will throttle PSU

Only way Bama doesn't roll to another title is if Joey Freshwater cannot handle working a double like kirby smart so professionally did last year

I'm not sure I would want Chip Kelly. Plus not to mention I think he has a show cause penalty still waiting for him for what he done at Oregon. Not sure I would want that kind of trouble honestly.

great point on the penalties....gators coach just cannot recruit the players to compete with Alabama, they are losing 4 * recruits to Tenn and North Carolina...Coach Mac at UF has been in bad spot due to Coach muschamp crappy offensive recruiting and the fact that the starting QB decided to take steroids or something and leave school but....I see a 6-6 season upcoming and a blowout to Michigan in the first game of the year

but can't wait for bowl season best time of the year with high scores and great gambling matchups

Give Mac some time, I think y'all will be happy eventually. Luke Del Rio is a good QB, there was rumors he was the backup here but once Kiffin was hired he skipped town. Still not sure why he left. If he can keep him healthy I can see UF being very good.

Del Rio is going to transfer is the rumors, gators are starting the other transfer appleby in the bowl game and then there are 2 RS fresh that will compete with this 4* fresh coming in next year from a big time program in S FL....gators have studs at WR but got to get them the ball

love college football..... love the finebaum show even though he does not like the gators

Finebaum is good when he isn't trying to troll people. When auBARN won 6 in a row he was Tubby's stooge and now he's all over Bama's junk like a 2 dollar hooker.

Appleby couldn't even beat out Del Rio though, so why on Earth would they start Appleby over a healthy Del Rio? Not many freshman no matter the stars are ready for SEC ball. Kids like Jalen Hurts are the exception. Remember, we had 5-star Blake Barnett start the opener against USC and he was a deer in the headlights out there and coaches even admitted as much. Hurts is thrown in there and the rest is history. Of course NOTHING seems to mess with Hurts, he can throw 3 picks in a row and come out and led the offense to 40 straight points.

agree on the del rio and not sure why he is not starting, the one UF writer I follow that is on SEC Country now zach alboverdi is kind of whispering that del rio is transferring, so we shall see....and the QB whisperer that you have down there with Kiffin has done pretty well with his past 3 QBs, i think he will do pretty well now that he has a 5* recruit at QB at FAU...not sure what the guys in the trenches down at FAU but if they are decent I am guessing that kiffin gets that squad bowl eligible...

Now will Bama cover the 2 tds against Washington....only thing that scares me is peterson and his crazy things he has amonth to set up to go against bama...38 - 7 is what score should be

Yea Washington doesn't show much that scares me. I think depth plays a major issue in this game.

Del Rio really can't afford to transfer unless he goes down a division because he has already transferred from Bama to Oregon State and to Florida.

We were hearing he had some shoulder problem and I was thinking he hasn't recovered from that yet. Of course I don't follow UF football like I do Bama.

ya he has a or had a shoulder problem and maybe he still does, anyways...bowl season starts good times

he was walking into to a buzz saw when he took that job with needing to build it from scratch. Nobody will win there withYork relying so much on Baalke. His reputation as a GM in nfl circles ishorrendous, san fran needs to bring in a new, innovative GM.

plus, as Spurrier learned the hard way along with Saban, Schiano etc...it's harder managing players who are multi millionaires with union protection, it's a different animal than dealing with drunk college kids. He should take a college job at a mid major and settle there until retirement.

on paper, UW matchesup much better than you think. they are loaded with talent. Not as much as Bama, but solid talent across the board. I believe Bama will win, but Peterson is a strategic coach with a deep analytical sense, he''ll have a solid game plan. nagel is the real deal.

I don't see how Ohio State is even in the top 4. They didn't even win their division much less their conference. I hope to God it Ohio State vs. Alabama in the title game. Ohio State will beat Clemson. The Tigers almost lost to Louisville and Auburn, plus NC State would have beat them if they had a decent Field Goal Kicker.

my response to OSU being in is in this thread. Bottom line...1 loss, strength of schedule better talent.

like him or nott, he is a top recruiter and competes for a national title year in and year out. as a buckeye fan, hard to say the Big 10 was trash. 4 teams in the top 15? 3 in the top 10. give it up dude. meyer would bend over and humiliate any coach in the SEC except for Saban. to say anything else is pure stupidity

Loss was to unranked team at the time. Strength of schedule? they played 4 Top 25 teams all year. Washington played 5 with a loss to a ranked team. OSU didn't even win their division, much less their conference. It's stupid. Everything will work out though. OSU is about to get their ass kicked.Stop playing cupcakes. My Ole Miss team was the last in the conference, but we still took on the best no matter what. We played the #1, #4, #8, #12, #15, #22, #25. Grow some balls and play somebody good besides Indian and Purdue. Then come with a decent argument.

Really? Is that why Meyer tucked his tail between his legs and high tailed it to the Big Ten after his SEC meltdown? Can't blame him though. I would want to go to an easier conference where I could make more money and slide into title contention without having to play big time teams too.

he won two titles in the SEC..no other SEC coach has done that besides Saban from that time period. EVERYWHERE he goes, he wins. he brought fucking utah to a major BCS bowl game. OSU has 44 freshman, most schools are fucked in the next two years. the first year of the playoff should have demonstrated that the BCS rankings with SEC teams year in and year out was flawed. and in case you haven't checked, condferences have peaks and valleys over the years. hell, even alabama wasn't relevant for 20 years. besides saban, meyer is the best college coach in the country whose players have much success in the nfl.
meyer wanted the Ohio State job from the get go-thats why he left florida. the same way saban lied to the miami dolphins for a job he wanted more. Meyer grew up in ohio, he was an all american baseball player there and coached on earl bruce's staff. hmmmm...lets see...coach at ohio state or florida? which job is better? not hard with the 2nd largest budget in the country to bolt for your hometown team that you grew up rooting for. gainesville is a cow town.

and dude, you're an ole miss fan??? respond to me when they are relevant in the national picture. i admire your sec enthusiasm, but the tables are turning and better coaches have gone to the BIG 10. even though i cant stand harbaugh, he one of the best in the country.

the only rankings that matter are the ones at the end of the season. how many pre season rankings are given by the ap and coaches that are just plain wrong? #22 and #25 hardly qualify for being top tier ranked programs. michigan state had one down year otherwise they are ranked year in and year out.

it all comes down to talent and its sad that ole miss doesn't even whiff this kind of success but ohio state will be there year in and year out. good luck to ya next season, i do respect that you follow ole miss and try to have a voice in the entire picture. you deserve some brownie points for following a perennial loser.

I agree with you dino, I think both OSU and WASHINGTON are being taken too lightly, I think Clemson will give osu all they want, but osu should prevail. as for washington, call me crazy dino,but, I see a big upset coming.

Yeah sorry, here in the SEC, if you can't even win your division you cant cake walk into the Playoffs.It boggles my mine. OSU doesn't even win their division, isn't even in their Conference Title game. And I know, Ole Miss Fan I know. Ask Urban Meyer how Ole Miss fucked up his Gators team and Timmy Tebow IN THE SWAMP. Look at the him tucking tail after the loss in September to Ole Miss in 08. Same thing when we beat Saban and Alabama 2 years in a row and had them on the ropes this year with half our team injured or gone to the NFL. My rebels are Giant Killers. We came the closest to beating Bama this year than anyone only losing by 5. Bama played 8 ranked teams this year, their 9th will be Washington meaning they played twice as many ranked teams than OSU who played a handful of hardly decent teams, losing to an unranked, the rest were cupcakes. Speaking of Ole Miss, last year in 2015 we finished 2nd in our division just like OSU did this year. You didn't hear us whining to be in the playoffs like OSU this year. We had a good year finishing 2nd in our division and accepted it. OSU finishes 2nd in their division and they are up in arms whining about how they should be in the playoffs,It's really pathetic.

HA. Washington upset Bama? I think not. Washington got spanked by #20 USC by 13 points in the latter part of the year. By contrast Bama spanked #20 USC the first game by 46 points. You cupcake guys never cease to amaze me. SEC West is a powerhouse. We fight each other almost every week. You guys dominate Oregon State and Indiana and think you got something going. Can't wait until they playoffs. After it's all said and done after Bama wins the title is that Ole Miss came the closest to beating them and beating them up all year.

what happened when OSU beat down Bama a few years ago? you may be one of the biggest mucks in the history of muckville. Ole Miss couldn't whiff Ohio States fecal matter. no comparison. ole miss is weak and pathetic.

we're in and you're out...eat some ass yates, eat some ass.

idiot...and now i got to turn my back on ya

Binnie I just don't see Washington beating us. They "might" keep it close early on, but our depth will show big time in the 2nd half. Same when we played Ole Miss, they could hang for a half then once we had our run they were done. 2 of their TD's came in the 4th quarter when we had subs in the whole defensive backfield. USC got manhandled by us and USC turned around and manhandled Washington. If we played USC today we'd still win by more than 21 points.

Dino I haven't changed my stance much, I still see a Bama/OSU final.

well, the tide has the talent, after all they are 'college football" and their running backs are awesome, you would think they might miss henry.... NOT. boy is the crimson tide deep, and yes they have been awesome in their 2nd halves, but, this Peterson is one great coach, and what he has done with Washington is nothing less than amazing.... so..... maybe! maybe! maybe!

I see an OSU V BAMA final as well. Nobody is beating Bama, but Urban Meyer would most likely be the best candidate for the upset. Ole Miss and their entire student body and fan base are experts in the art of wolfbagging. They're as irrelevant and transparent as Indiana and Illinois. My opinion is that USC is playing BETTER THAN ANYBODY except Bama right now, a few early hiccups spoiled their chances.

Bama wears them down by mid game and runs away with it...by 16 plus

Miami of Ohio almost upset Miss St. They beat them up for 4 qtrs. PATHETIC by Miss St.

NC State humiliated Vandy...PATHETIC

Washington State got stuffed by Minnesota. you know WSU, that 'ranked' team that Washington played earlier in the year? They fucking blow. Big 10 Minnesota held them to 12 points when they averaged 40.3 pts per game

Northwestern beat Pitt. Another Big 10 bowl win.

#19 Utah edges Indiana 26-24.

big 12 Kansas State beats Texas A &M

University of South Florida beats South Carolina with an interim coach. lol

Virginia Tech beats Arkansas. ouch

Is Ole Miss in a bowl game this year? Dixie, are they?

Unfortunately, we aren't in the Big 10 playing cupcakes all season so no we are not.

Of course not Then of course I "heard rumors" that the young Patterson QB was going to run roughshod over the SEC but then he comes out and flops too even losing to Vandy. With the NCAA after them too (one coach is forced to leave) things don't look so bright in Mississippi.

That sums up the SEC this year. The conference as a whole is not very good this year. I almost expect OU to stomp auBARN Monday night too.

Mullen should have spent more time prepping his team for Miami of Ohio instead of thinking he could get the Oregon job.

well, my Georgia bulldogs beat tcu in the liberty bowl, they should be much better next year........ getting ready to go to my sisters house to watch the games, [I don't have cable] I just don't get it with the tide, if they win it will be their special teams coming to their rescue again. I still see an upset, Washington over Alabama..... Clemson over OHIO ST. national championship game, Washington vs Clemson. SORRY, ALABAMA BOYS IT ENDS HERE TODAY,

Poor Binnie, putting your foot in your mouth again

Washington will be over matched. Going to be a long day for UW.

Fellas,

I don't follow the SEC but I fell out laughing about the "Heistman 2"* story about the Arkansas player.


Sad and funny at the same time.

Caught shoplifting from the SPONSOR of the bowl game that your team is slated to play in?

http://www.chatsports.com/arkansas-razor...nsor-belk-31828


*Peter Warrick of FSU was the original Heistman

My Buckeyes got thrashed! Hats off to Clemson, they executed in every facet. Future is bright at OSU with 44 freshman on the team

ACC had a nice showing this year. I still like Bama winning it all

I told you Binnie, you would figure you have learned by now to quit going out on a limb against Bama

I did NOT see the Clemson/OSU game going that way at all. I could see either team winning and I sided with OSU, but if the line was Clemson -28 people would have poured record money into that so we know nobody expected that.

Out of the Bama starters last night, we return 7 on offense (not counting contributors) with 7 back on defense and on special teams we lose our kicker. Things are looking good for next year too!

well, you didn't even need ridley . [caught one pass] [harris. stewart] scarbough is another great back for you, saban wasn't happy because 7 offensive penalties, 2 for not getting the snap off, I saw on the sidelines he was livid with hurts, ive always said your defensive, and special teams make the tide no,1 well, the way your defensive played you could have stopped dallas. and again Dixie congrats to your team you are awesome, Washington did not belong there, and I think this time Clemson will be ready for you, don't think saban is going to get that 6th. should be great game.

yes, dino it was embarrising for OSU fans, you just didn't belong there. like Washington.

They definitely belonged there, as did Washington. I'm not embarrassed as a fan, I'm proud that my team competes for a National Title every year. Losses happen, blowouts happenand the Buckeyes are stacked next year. To say they didn't belong, there was nobody else in the country that belonged in their spot. Meyer will win another title, their talent is as good as he's ever had and 44 players were freshman.

Jesus. I've been saying for 3 weeks how Ohio State didn't belong there but, no no no and blah blah blah. You got blanked by Clemson and you still won't admit it. All I hear is shit about next year. Shit, Clemson barely beat NC State. At least the Big Ten Champion Penn State would've scored points against Clemson. The damn Buckwheats couldn't put up 3 points against Clemson and they are a top 4 team in the nation deserving of playoffs. Shit, at least Washington actually scored a point against Bama. Buckwheats put up a BIG FAT GOOSE EGG. Good job Ohio State. I thank you though because I guarantee from now on if you don't win your division, much less your conference you won't be in the College Playoffs. Good Job Buckwheats. Dabo made a fool of Urban Meyer.

Not sure what wolfbagging is, but if it was knowing Ohio State wasn't shit and didn't deserve to be in the Playoffs then yeah I guess you're right. Talk all the shit you want, but at least we put up 43 points on Bama, yall couldn't even kick a god damn field goal against Clemson. Pathetic. Just proves what I said all along. Ohio State didn't belong there. Give me a break with your "strenght of schedule". Who did you beat? Michigan who lost to Florida State? MYy shitty sorry loser Ole Miss team that was last in the SEC scored more points against Florida State than your crown jewel win of the season Michigan team. Grow some balls. Stop playing cupcakes all season and duke it out like the SEC.And quit talking about NEXT YEAR. Cause yalls schedule next year looks just as weak as this year.2016 quality wins over other high ranked teams with cupcake schedule most of the year. 31-0 loss to Clemson. Can't blame it on the offense not even kicking a field goal though, Clemson embarrassed your defense like it was a High School team.

Oh and to prove my point, here is an ESPN article titled "Ohio State wasn't ready to be a CFP contender after all". http://www.espn.com/blog/bigten/post/_/i...-away-after-all

Amazing. I'm a dumb Mississippi redneck. I could have written that article 2 weeks ago.

And I might add Ole Miss scored 43 points against Bamas defense. We were last in the SEC. 4th ranked Washington put up a measly 7 points on Bama's elite defense even though they ranked 4th in the country. That is all you need to know about the strength of SEC schedules an the rest of the country. Nuff Said.
